Roslyn Winter Weekend Excursion

We spent Sunday afternoon and night up in Roslyn with some friends for a little getaway. Roslyn is about 1.5 hours from Seattle. I think that is also the town where the show Northern Exposure was filmed years ago. Anyway, we had planned to try to take the kids on a sleigh ride and sledding excursion at Happy Trails Adventures in Easton, WA (http://www.horseadventureswa.com/?page_id=1193) but the weather wasn't so cooperative. We had snow last week but by the weekend, the temperatures had gone up and all we got was rain on Saturday. Fortunately Sunday was relatively dry and we managed to get a bit of sledding in with the kids. We decided to skip the sleigh ride trip given the conditions. In retrospect, that excursion may have been a bit much for an 18 month old! Dash was happy (well, maybe not entirely happy since he cried the first two times down the hill on the sled...I am not kidding) or rather satisfied sledding and playing in the snow right by the house where we stayed.
Needless to say, we had fun although next time we will have to stay for two nights. All of that packing for one night was a little ridiculous and exhausting!

We are on the sled although you can't see it, just getting
ready to head down the small hill.
