Skiing in the New Year!

Since 2005 we have spent NYE with our dear friends Geoff and Whit. This year we headed up to Sugar Mtn. With all of the early snow Boone has received we couldn't miss the opportunity for some great skiing. For the first part of the day Scott and Geoff headed off on the big boy slopes while Whit and I started on the green slopes. We hadn't skied in a while, and we weren't as confident as the boys. Half way thru the day we met up with the boys and relaxed in the lodge with a beverage before hitting the slopes together. Luckily, skiing is like riding a bike, you never forget how to do it.

After skiing we went back to the cabin and got ready for dinner at a new tapas restaurant in Boone, Crave. This restaurant is a must try if you are looking for a new place to eat in Boone. We were seated in our own booth in our own little part of the restaurant. We split a bottle of wine and enjoyed sharing our tapas' with one another. We were able to order the food as we wanted it, and didn't have to order it all up front. This kept us from over eating. Our dinner lasted about 2.5 hours, but we had a great time with wonderful friends and excellent food. We made it just in time to change clothes, ring in the new year, and then hit bed. We were exhausted after a day of skiing.

Happy New Years!

Whit's delicious smoked salmon.

The girls opted for the chocolat del fuego as our dessert.

It had a hint of cayenne pepper for heat!

This did NOT disappoint.
