I stayed in L . A . and it was sunny the entire weekend . We spent most of the time at home but we did go see King Kong on Christmas day .

How did you like it ?
neutral
user
It was better than I expected . But , you know , I think I would have enjoyed skiing in Tahoe even better . Do you go there often ?
neutral
assistant
No , not much . My wife doesn't like to ski . She prefers vacationing where it's warmer , like Hawaii .

I don't blame her . I really enjoyed it there when we went a few years ago . I'd like to go back sometime soon .
