DC girls go to Schweitzer ...

It's not exactly like Mr Smith goes to Washington ... but you get the sense of it.  Had the fortune of hosting four fabulous women from DC .. Banks & Lynn and Raisa & Jen.  Wonderful people, perfect guests and think everyone greatly enjoyed "turning back into" Advanced Beginner Skiers.  The following photos are courtesy of Banks... a good time had by all as it's been fantastic introducing the magic of Sandpoint, Schweitzer... they will all be back for Bunga Bunga 2012 in August!  Look out Sandpoint - look. out.

The entrance to Schweitzer... fresh snow!

Greeted Sunday Schweitzer arrival with a champagne toast!

Monday - BLUE BIRD powder day (see previous post) - it was amaze.

The was post the first day of skiing - or perhaps after our first game of Loaded Questions.  New "best" game.

Last night in Sandpoint... Eichardt's!  Pez collection, taps on the ceiling, beer, cider, wine - Oh. My.

Schweitzer... it's not going to be a secret for long!

Vieques ... take 2

Pina coladas after being on the beach all day... YUMMI !

The road to Green beach ... isolation - it doesn't get much better than this...

Playing in the ocean @ Green beach... Meg and I giving each other pointers!

This was the 2nd night @ Al's for Sunset... no funeral / wake to compete with this go-around.  More on this below.

Sunset @ Al's ... ahhhhhhh....

After the first full day on the beach ... Al's is the hot spot & right down the street from Casa de Amistad.  Perfect!



This was the first evening in VQS.  Literally drove to Casa de Amistad.. where there was a note on the gate saying "@ Al's"... walked down and there was a funeral / wake for Steve (no idea who this Steve person was but he had a lot of island friends)... had a few cold ones and then it was back to check in, throw our bags in our room and off to supper.  Good times, good times.

The weather continues to be sublime... morning rain showers while still in bed, followed by winds, blue skies and sun... lots & lots of SUN.

Vieques!!

Let the vacation begin... in VQS for a few days of sun, beach and sun with Meg and one of her besties from NYC!  Go team Crate-n-Barrel!  Green beach day 1.  Green beach day 2 begins post java and jamon y queso pan.

Sofia. Coppola.  Best champers in a can on the beach... ever!

Meggggggggg.  Dominish.

Yayr!

Holla!

Warming up and cheesing after a dip in the pool

Meg's self potraits with the camera are pretty darn priceless
