Every couple of years, my mum gets on a plane and travels 12,000kms across the globe to visit us. We always try to do a girlie road-trip to a different part of the country while she is here and, this year, we headed down to Thredbo, where she was able to cross ‘Standing in snow’ off her bucket list (and I made her eat some, just for good measure ;-)).
Above is us on our way down on the ski-lift after sinking into the lovely, powdery stuff below.

what a great mother to make that trip so often 🙂 the photo of your snowy shoes says such a lot!
It’s getting more difficult for her, Christine, but she is always game 😀 Thanks.
courage runs in the family!
Sweet pic for the challenge. 🙂
Thanks, AD – we are companionable in many ways despite our differences 😉
Wonderful shots and share, BB.
Thanks, Nancy – we enjoy our road-trips. This one was shorter than usual, but fun 🙂
Wonderful to have these moments with your mom. My mom used to come too from France to Quebec, now I go.
I can’t get to my hed that you are in winter 😉 here it is 30, your photo tells me not to forget winter, it is around the corner
Ah, so you know what the distances between mean, Ben – I go back to Africa every couple of years, too. The snow was early here, but quite deep up the top of Crackenback the weekend that we were there in May :-D.
How wonderful that you make a girly trip each time!
We love our girlie roadtrips, Gilly. We can stop when we want, shop in roadside markets when we want, listen to music we both love in the car, snuggle up and watch slapstick movies (which we both love, haha) in hotel rooms when we want.
Nothing like a like snow to bring about a special moment together.
We don’t see it much here, Charles. Thredbo is six hours south-west of Sydney, so is a treat 🙂
Great take on the theme, but even better arrangement between you and your Mum, BB. Looks as though you both had a great time.
Thanks, Kate. We enjoy our rare time together – it is so precious.
This is a great shot for the challenge, Bluebee 😀 I just love Thredbo!
Thanks, Dianne 😀 Thredbo has a very special place in my heart, and I have spent many days there 🙂
So sweet – love the photos and the idea of you and your Mum going on a road trip together – so special – I am sure you appreciate every moment together 🙂
Thanks, Gabe 🙂 We always have a really wonderful time (as long as we avoid the subject of religion, hehe,).
Lovely pic of togetherness, Bb! Glad you and your mom get together regularly, especially when so far apart physically it keeps you close spiritually for between-visits.
Thanks, Adee. We stay in touch on Skype as well. The Digital Age keeps us connected 🙂
I couldn’t live without Skype. Two sisters in England and a brother in London… Use it every day!
Do they visit regularly?
I wish… 😦
😦
just a grand photo, BB, and how lovely that you get to share such great stuff with your mom
We have to make the most of our time together, Monica 🙂
Super, but I hope there were thermal socks under that footwear!
Thawed out on the underfloor heating of our apartment 🙂
what a lovely thing to do with your Mum…hope it was NOT yellow snow..hehehe
hehe – I did check, Jo 🙂
