Blue Mountain Escape

Our March break plans to go to Ottawa were put on hold so we wanted to come up with a fun little getaway for the kids (and us of course) to a place we have always loved to go.

I had a credit on a room at Blue Mountain and so we packed up the kids and headed to Collingwood for some Blue Mountain Village fun.

The conditions were not great for skiing. It was mild and rainy, but that didn't stop us from having a great time.  Mira joined in the dance party that broke out in the centre of the village. We shopped (they have 50% off kids outerwear!) and we enjoyed the hot tub.

 I cannot wait for the day where both kids will be old enough to ski and we can start going on more adventurous ski trips (hello Vermont, NH and Whistler) but until then, there is plenty for us to do as a family at places like Blue Mountain.

We were going to do some pottery painting, but the pieces we paint weren't available to pick up until we were back home. Mira came up with the brilliant idea that the people in Blue Mountain could DRIVE the pottery piece down to Georgetown for us. Um, not sure they would be up for that drive. So we put off pottery painting until our next trip up there.

 While we were in Collingwood, we dropped in to see our friends Dillon and Jodi who have opened up their Crossfit gym in Wasaga Beach. Crossfit Indestri Beach is now open and ready for some hard core workouts and "machine building" for those interested ;)

It would be a dream for us to live up in Collingwood. It has everything we would want for ourselves and our children. It would provide the perfect outdoorsy outlet in all seasons. The kids could become avid skiiers or snowboarders. They could take up golf and mountain biking in the summer.

We could have beautiful views of the "mountains" in our day to day and the downtown Collingwood area is beautiful and charming. One day perhaps that dream will come true. Until then, we love our Georgetown and all it has to offer us and our little growing family. It is home to us and will be for quite a while. Luckily, Collingwood will always been a short drive away for us.
