Rui Doso, NM

Pronounced Ria Dosa by everyone in Midland.
It was such a fun little ski vacation. Our cabin was very tiny, but perfect for a couple with very few personal boundaries. It had a nice little kitchen, a tiny living room that Nick could not stand up straight in, and a loft bed above the living room (you had to crawl to get in and out of bed- the ceiling was right there!)

We had fun skiing, although there was about 4-5 runs that were open and our difficulty level. Most of the mountain was closed. It was also extremely icy, so I learned how to ski on ice! Not easy.

I think one of my fav stories is about a dog.
The cabins owned several dogs that would wander around and one Nick nicknamed biscuit. She would wander by our cabin and drop a pine cone at our feet and expect us to throw it constantly. She became such good friends with us by the 2nd day that she came in our cabin and hung out for a while. Nick gave her some peanut butter.

One night we went to an "irish pub" and ate fish and chips and drank Smithwicks and we missed Ireland.

This weekend I head to Ft. Worth for Dori's bachelorette party!
