We've had an absolutely AMAZING week here in Madonna di Campiglio. It turns out to be the most adorable little resort village. Our hotel is right off the main piazza, in short walking distance of TWO lifts (okay, one of the lifts is a little further away than I'd prefer, but it's not a big deal...8 minutes MAYBE in ski boots?).
The first day was really snowy. The more intrepid went out and had a marvelous time. The more trepid of us stayed in and had a marvelous time. Actually, we went and got groceries and hung out in pajamas.
After that, we've had stellar weather. It was starting to get a wee bit scraped up yesterday, so the skies cooperated and dumped about 6 inches of snow in the mid- to late afternoon. And today was GLORIOUS!
I don't want to take away from Ashley's blog post (ahem, Ashley), but (spoiler alert)...guess who went out on a snowboard today? She had a lesson and said it was super-hard, but she did very, very well.
As a tantalizer, I provide you these photos:

| Jeremy trying not to smile |

| By the way, it's nearly impossible to get everyone looking the same way while on the mountain |

| Hot chocolate, Italian style...so thick you can stand your spoon in it |
 |
| Yesterday afternoon...getting ready to dump fresh snow on us! |
Love,
