Utah 2009

Amy is a master traveler. She takes airports, airplanes, airport trams, hotels and rental cars with joy. She relished the hot and cold pools in our resort. Since she won't agree to gloves, hat and coat without a fight, I feel she doesn't have the maturity to warrant the cost/benefit ratio of ski lessons. Heck, we can't even get her to wear tights or socks with her flimsy little dresses. But on our last day, we outfitted her with ski boots and all, and took her to the flattest of flat areas by the exquisite Silver Lake Lodge at Deer Valley. She was all full of, "I don't need help, I know how to do this...": Until she got on the snow. Then she was tear city.

Don skied all day, had a 90 minute deep-tissue massage and then dinner at an asian-fusion joint for his ____ birthday!
