Instead of creating a lengthy list of resolutions this year, I’ve been focused on one big goal: At least one weekend trip per month, whether anyone else wants to go or not. “Weekend” is loose–I’ll settle for a 2-3 night getaway once per month (because sometimes the places I want to go are a little more reasonable on a Tuesday night).  Up first was a winter weekend spent at The Greenbrier–a destination that’s been on my bucket list for more than 20 years. Back when I was at Virginia Tech, a friend of mine. who was in the a capella group Juxtaposition, used to sing at The Greenbrier every New Year’s Eve. Ever since first hearing about America’s Resort in the Allegheny Mountains, I’ve always wanted to visit.
