Happy Valentine's Day!

For Valentine's Day this year, Rob and I had Moroccan food last Saturday at Maatam Fez in Denver. They had pretty good food, 5-courses for one price and you got to take off your shoes and sit on pillows on the floor and eat only with your hands, so the cultural traditions were fun. They also had a belly dancer who was going around giving lessons to those who were willing to try. It was interesting, just not an atmosphere that's conducive to talking or as romantic as some date nights we've gone on. Still, we appreciate the opportunity to get away together for any stretch.

We also got a ski day in at Copper on Monday the week before, which was awesome! The mountains have been getting a ton of snow lately, so the conditions were great and going on a weekday, we didn't have to deal with skier traffic or lift lines, so we got a lot of runs in. It was our first ski day in two years, since I was pregnant with Ethan last season, and it came back to us pretty quickly. Our second run of the day, I accidentally led us down a black run with moguls, which was tough on a snowboard, but I did pretty well and think my husband was actually enjoying them. It snowed all day and we found powder pockets, even at the end of the day, so it ranks up there as one of my favorite ski days.
