A week away, breathing and swimming in the mountain air, with our a 500-square-foot rustic cabin to hide in from the hail equals some pretty zen kids and parents. I know not everyone has the ability to do this, and I am oh-so-grateful, but I saved all year for this. Money well spent after the year o’ stress we call “pandemic.” Thank you, CB, for being a reliable reset, year after year. Still so many hikes calling me back….
