Travel - Skiing in the Poconos

Four and a half years ago, we celebrated my cousin's birthday with a ski trip to the Poconos. We rented a house for the weekend and had such a great time. I don't really like skiing but I love hanging out, playing games and drinking lots of hot cocoa by the fireplace. The beautiful part about this trip is that her husband proposed while we were there. It was beautiful.

It was a beautiful house with lots of space for all 7 of us

My hubby being silly in the kitchen :)
That night we played cards, games and hung out with the crew, it was so much fun

 Jenga :)

The next day we hit the slopes for some skiing. It was a whole day event, I was so tired by the end of it. Me and my hubby sporting our Redskins hat. We love our team :)
My hubby looking cool on the slopes. He makes it look so easy


 
It was such a fun day, the birthday girl definitely had a great time
After skiing all day we went out to dinner to celebrate the birthday girl. We all got dressed up. The girls ready for a night out in the town
Her hubby proposed that night after dinner. It was so beautiful and so well timed. He did good. They've been happily married for 3 years now :).
The next day was spent relaxing and hanging out at the house and of course celebrating the newly engaged couple. We made an awesome breakfast and played some more games. Then before we left we took some pictures (of course)
The whole gang together, gotta love self timer
Me and my cousin before we left, we are both engaged, YAY
It was such a fun trip. I don't like skiing so much but I love hanging out with with my friends.

    Love seeing all the brown faces skiing! I went to a ski resort in med school with a bunch of classmates and I was the only brown face on the slopes and when the altitude sickness got the best of me and I had to retreat to the comfort of our cabin there were no more brown faces on the slopes :(

      hehehe, I am like you, love to see diversity everywhere. Skiing is just so cold and expensive, no wonder most of us are not that interested

    I went skiing one time on my senior trip in high school. I was a hot mess. You guys looked like you had a lot of fun though :) Jenga is awesome, I got shaky hands so don't ever pick me as a partner!
