Caitlin made me laugh when she brought everything but the Wii on vacation with her on a family trip. It’s so true.
I’ve done much of the same on my vacation, although I am blogging right now from my husband’s netbook. (I can’t bear the thought of my Mac Book going through security at the airport.)
For my son, I downloaded every conceivable Little Einsteins show, iTouch for kids app and unwrapped the early birthday present from Grandma – a Leapster 2 plus several games.
We’ve gone skiing, and so, I can’t possibly go down the mountain without my still and Flip cameras. (Mind you, the tech-heavy pockets only add insult to already puffed out long-underwear-clad hips.)
But what I’m really loving about my heavy vacation is that everyone in Snowmass seems to be on Twitter. In two days I’ve already added two new Aspen friends/companies to my Twitter account. From my BlackBerry on the Big Burn lift I can ask what the conditions are like on the top of the mountain and get someone to tell me if there are long lines for lunch.
In theory.
So far, I haven’t gotten immediate responses, so I’m not sure how I should dress for the weather tomorrow.
Maybe that’s just the lassez-faire ski-town Twitter attitude.
Or, perhaps, it’s just a sign that I should turn off the Tweets and just pay attention to my ski turns.
