We had planned a snow vacation since both kids claimed they wanted to play in the snow. Being the money saving Chinese parents that we are, we stayed in Roseville since it's not that far of a drive from the snow (roughly an hour). We had planned to spend a couple hours in the snow, and the day of the trip, I realized that Lucas did not have snow gloves. So I went to literally EVERY store I could think of in Roseville to look for something for him and finally settled on a women's size small after going on a wild goose chase.
After lunch, we set out for the snow and noticed that our dinky little Corolla was the only non SUV car driving up the mountain. As the temperature went from 48 degrees to below freezing, we were happy that we found snow an hour away! We spent $10 parking and $8 per person to go to a little snowy mountain. After spending 20 minutes changing the kids in the car, both kids decided that they were NOT fans of the snow and wanted to go "home" (aka hotel). When I asked Lucas in the car if he wanted to go back to the snow, he said no. "But we can sing about the snow!"
Basically, this snow trip turned into a Roseville vacation. To our surprise, Roseville wasn't a bad place to vacation for a few days!

Roseville is filled with shopping on every corner AND very, very affordable NEW houses. We could be living like royalty if we moved to Roseville. Daddy found a free train ride for the whole family.

Before we left, we went to a bounce house place where the entire family paid a total of $7.50 to go! Is that amazing or is that amazing?! Why can't we have something here in the Bay Area?!

And that was our mini snow Roseville vacation. We decided that it doesn't matter where we go, the kids just like being away from home for a little while. "Vacation means not being home" - Lu. Well, in two weeks we are going to SD for Legoland! Let the vacationing begin!!!
Just give them a bed they can jump on and they're happy
I don't know what everyone else was doing at midnight last night, but I was already snoozing my life away by 10:30. Happy 2015 everyone!
