For 7 days, my family was in beautiful Whistler, B.C. We were also without cellphone and internet service. To some, this seems treacherous, but I was honestly looking forward to it. I didn't have to test my ability to stay off social media; I HAD NO CHOICE. I must say, it was positively wonderful. No interruptions. Just the perfect, blissful 7 days in the mountains with my family and skiing like mad.
I was okay with not getting updated constantly via Twitter, but I still really wanted to document my adventures somehow. So, my brother and I decided it would be a fantastic idea to keep note of tweets we would have posted throughout the week. Here mine are. Indulge me for a moment in believing that some of you actually missed my tweets.
