It has never, ever happened that we as a family get away during the winter season. Snowclearing always takes up my time and the family doesn't get to play in return. This year we did things a bit differently though. With good staff in the office and in the field, we ventured to Whistler for a long weekend. What's that?? I know, we took time to play!!
The kids spent Saturday and Sunday in Adventure Camps learning to snowboard, they have never done that before either. Dwayne and I spent Saturday working on the biz you know, planning, structures, job descriptions etc etc. It was good to get it mostly done! We stayed in on Saturday night and hung out. On Sunday morning Dwayne and I continue with planning our family stuff and then he went skiing for the afternoon. After a bit of shopping, I was by the fireplace with my book enjoying the quiet. It was tough as I wasn't allowed to call the office or even find out about the weather, kinda like an intervention!!
We went to Ric's Grill for dinner and then headed home on Monday (Dwayne stayed up there for the ICSC conference). I did the night shift on Monday night and...well... my sleep patterns went downhill from there!!
It was a great weekend and the team did an amazing job!! Sadly (or happily) I realized that I am replacable and wasn't really needed....*sigh* !!
