Bittersweet

This weekend we decided to go up to the Skeet Retreat. It has been rented out since July and we got a TON of snow last week, so we were excited to finally head up to the mountains. We got there Friday evening fairly early, but Sophia was NOT excited about sleeping in the pack'n play, so it took us a couple hours to finally get settled in.
When we woke up the next morning, we were shocked at how much snow was on the ground. There was easily over 4 feet, with drifts up to 10 feet high and icicles several feet long!


Although it was snowing, we went ahead and drove into town and ate breakfast at our favorite diner. They gave Sophia a large basket of toys to play with, which she happily threw on the ground one by one! She also got to try biscuits and gravy for the first time, and she was a huge fan!

Will's friend Greg "Hafner" drove up and the 2 of them spent the afternoon skiing while Sophia, Trent and I hung out at the condo.

Sophia looked so stinkin cute all bundled up in her winter jacket!
I took Sophia out to play in the snow thinking she'd enjoy it for about 90 seconds at the most, but she had a blast! She grabbed a snowball in each hand and walked around with a huge smile on her face, even as her hands turned purple!

So why is this bittersweet? This is the sign now hanging outside:

While we were at breakfast, our realtor met with us and we signed the papers to go ahead and put the condo on the market. It's a decision we've battled with for the last 2 years, and it was a very tough one to make, but we think it is the right one. We also have a family set to ski lease it starting Jan 25th, so we may not get to see the Retreat until it's time to clean our stuff out for the next owners.
SO if you know anyone interested in buying a charming 2 bedroom/2 bath, fully furnished condo in the Tahoe area, have them call the number on the sign!!

My original comment was that maybe we should all go to the condo when we are up in Feb, but since it has a ski lease on it I guess that won't happen. It is a bummer that you will sell it but sometimes adult decisions are not fun and I know it has come with it's frustrations when not rented out.
