We spend the past few days in Breckenridge, Colorado
freezing skiing our butts off! It was tons of fun, but oh so much work. What a great reminder of how out of shape we all were! We arrived in Denver early Thursday morning and got our rental car (they upgraded us to a new Jeep Grand Cherokee, which I have been eying as an upgrade to my current vehicle!), and after a nice Denny's breakfast, we were en route to Breck. It was actually a short and easy drive from Denver to Breckenridge -- flat, no twisty roads or scary uphill climbs. We were able to walk around the town a bit before meeting up with friends for lunch at the local Brewery -- great beer, not so great food...
We checked into the house a few hours later, met the rest of the crew, and ate a nice chicken enchilada dinner before playing a few games and breaking out the cards for a round of Spades. We spent the next two days skiing in deep powder, blizzard-like temperatures, and freezing gusts of wind. Awesome :) There is a great restaurant/bar on Peak 8 that we frequented when the conditions got bad or when we got hungry. It was a great atmosphere -- lots of yummy food, good music, nice people, and the best cocoa and Bailey's/Kaluha you could get your cold hands on!
We had such an awesome time and met some really great people. Needless to say, we are already thinking about trip #2 next year :) Here are some iPhone pics (more 'real' pics to come!).
