All I want for Christmas

North Pole Experience, Greer, Arizona

For the past 5 years, I have dreamed of taking a trip to the White Mountains during "winter vacation".  I really do miss the snow and the cold temperatures (if only for a little while).  We have planned trips to Sunrise Ski Resort, but we have never been able to actually take the trip.


As the kids get older, we are able to experience more things.  Last summer we took the opportunity to travel up the Pacific Coast from Malibu, California to Newport, Oregon.  We spent 19 days camping and exploring and it was the best quality family time!  


This year, all I want for Christmas is a trip to the North Pole!  A couple of days in the White Mountains, snow falling gently to the ground, a steaming cup of hot chocolate, the smell of gingerbread in the air, and sneaking a peek at the Elves in action at Santa's Workshop!  The magic of Christmas practically in our back yard...
