Our Mountain Trip by the Numbers

Happy Monday, all!  We got back from a trip to the mountains yesterday, so Sunday afternoon and evening were spent unpacking, washing clothes, and getting settled back in and prepared for the upcoming week.  That being said, I didn’t have time to recap any of our trip, but I didn’t want to leave you hanging on a Monday, so here is a quick recap of our trip in numbers.

1 – Salted Caramel Mocha consumed.  Thank you, Amy!

1 – Time that we got asked if Jacob and Olivia are twins.

8 – Times that the kids watched Frozen in the car.  (Wish I was kidding.)

6 – Other movies that we brought that went unwatched because the kids only wanted to watch Frozen.

16 – Times I went insane from hearing “Do You Want to Build a Snowman” and “Let It Go.”

6 – Different wines tasted at the vineyard.

2 – Bottles of wine purchased to bring home.

8 – Mini ice cream sandwiches consumed at the mountain house.

145 – Gemstones found while gem grubbing.

3 – Things checked off of my personal bucket list (going to a vineyard/winery, apple picking and eating an apple cider donut).

17 – Apples picked at the orchard.

At least 10 – Times that I said how excited I was to be picking apples.

5 – Apple cider donuts consumed at the orchard.

1 – (1/2 of Jacob’s and 1/2 of Olivia’s) Apple cider donut that went to waste because halfway through each of theirs, the kids said, “I doooon’t liiiike them.”  WHAT?!?!

5 – Cups knocked over at restaurants.

1 – Tacky souvenir frame purchased to add to our Travel Gallery Wall.

12 – Pictures posted on Instagram during the trip.

1 – Pumpkin Spice Latte consumed.

4,863,462,125,908,442 – Gorgeous fall leaves that we saw.

Oh, and we can’t forget...

1 – Time that the kids locked B and me out of the mountain house and sheer panic ensued.

I’ll be back tomorrow with the first half of the recap.  :o)


*Linking up with B Loved Boston for Weekending.

  1. I love how you shared this trip. So fun! Looks like a blast and that you guys had a great time. I would have panicked about getting locked out too. I'm so glad everyone is safe. Isn't the Salted Carmel Mocha amazing? Amy told me about it too.

  13. What a great trip! Minus the whole Frozon on repeat, but silver lining, at least they weren't fighting over what to watch like my kids probably would have been! But 8 times, yiks! That's rough. Can't wait to hear about the trip!
