weekend warriors #LTfriendsgiving // thanksgiving in val-d’isère, part 2
Oh, you thought we were finished professing our love for our Thanksgiving in Val-d’Isère? You were wrong. So very, very wrong. If you read the first post detailing our #LTfriendsgiving weekend in this snowy alpine town, you’ll know we spent the majority of our time eating and drinking with our feet up by the fire. Yes, we could have happily camped out in our chalet for the entire weekend. But Saturday morning marked the official opening of Val-d’Isère’s ski season! As long-time (but admittedly infrequent) skiers, Carolyn and Jeff were itching to hit the slopes. And although he had never…

It kicked off with an intro to Thanksgiving in Val-d’Isère that we’ll never forget. After that, it was basically non-stop Christmas cheer until the New Year.

It’s definitely what we’re each facing in Philadelphia and London this holiday season, and it is BLEH. But while it looks like a white Christmas will take place only in our dreams this year, we can’t complain. We had a quick preview of a real winter wonderland during our alpine roadtrip for #LTfriendsgiving, and it was everything we wanted and more. We have lots to share from our long weekend in the French Alps, but we thought we’d start at the very beginning: with…

#LTfriendsgiving travel announcement! friendsgiving: alpine edition
Listen, we love autumn. We’re all about the fall foliage and new sweaters. We’ve even been known to sip a few pumpkin-flavored beverages! And now, with Halloween behind us and the temperatures continuing to drop, we’re getting itchy for the next holiday. Enter friendsgiving: alpine edition. Ah yes. Our most favorite American holiday. Mainly because it involves many carbohydrates and lots of time to do what we do best! Eat, drink, relax, repeat. So, dear friends, we invite you to pour yourself a glass of red wine or whip up a steaming hot toddy (or hot chocolate for the fellow pregos)…
