well...we decided to go to utah skiing in feb with some friends. i'm flying my mom in from NC and she's gonna watch the kids while we spend a few days on the slopes. it's a pretty cheap trip. i used miles for my mom, wife, and myself and i have enough hilton points to pay for the homewood suites we'll be staying in. i think i'm going to surprise her with some nice jewelry or something since i'm not really spending much money on the trip.
