It was a beautiful sunny weekend with temperatures in the upper 60's at lake level (6500 feet) and in the mid 50s up at 10000 feet at the top of Heavenly ski resort. We spent the night at the very nice Marriott Timber lodge and were able to get a really nice two bedroom suite with a full kitchen and living area. In addition to the great accommodations the location couldn't have been better as the base of the Heavenly gondola is right outside the door. Sarah outdid herself by watching Claire and taking her on the Gondola and for a run around town while Greg and I (Brian) spent the day trying to ski every run on the mountain.
This proved an impossible feat as even with a small portion of the mountain was closed for the season (lack of snow), we still managed to ski the whole day without doing the same run twice. It was ideal spring snow and there were very few people on the mountain so we had a blast. When we got back, I made sure to thank Sarah for watching the baby and letting us enjoy the snow by signing her up for a Spa sampler package which included a massage, mini-facial, and a seaweed wrap. We all tried to guess exactly what a seaweed wrap would entail and our best guess was that they'd be wrapping large leafs that looked as if they came from the sea all around her body. We conjectured that they'd add small sea creatures like anemones and starfish to the wrap to help exfoliate her skin. In the end, Sarah thoroughly enjoyed here wrap, but it was not as we had guessed. They simply spread a gooey green seaweed substance on her body and wrapped her in towels to allow her skin to absorb the nutrients. I can personally atest to the fact that her skin is noticeably softer now. 
In the end it was a great weekend, and although Claire didn't get to Ski or get a spa treatment, she thoroughly enjoyed exploring the hotel and playing with the doorstops.Here are some additional pictures from this weekends adventures:
