Rocky Mountain High

My husband has been up in Denver Colorado for some training for a few weeks. He surprised us by booking us a flight on Friday to Denver for a quick weekend ski trip!

My son left school early on Friday and we drove to Dallas and we caught a plane to Denver.

I didn't know where we were staying since my husband wouldn't tell me, so I was really delighted when he finally revealed to me it was a beautiful Bed and Breakfast that we've been to a couple of times before over the years located in Frisco Colorado (which is near Breckenridge) (the first time we went was 9 years ago!)

It's got a nice jacuzzi and beautiful rooms and my husband booked the Big Round room you see in this photo. The Inn keeper Isabella is awesome and she made us a delicious breakfast and we got to play with her poodle (the big kind) named Sage.

Snowboarding, skiing, sipping hot chocolate by the fireplace, warming your feet by the fire, shopping, eating steaks at Farleys, http://www.farleyschophouse.com/ soaking in the Hot Tub, lying in the huge bed looking out the window watching the snow flakes fall. Having a cold beer in the ski lodge listening to the Band play this song by John Denver, "Rocky Mountain high... Colorado.... la la la Colorado...." I also got to meet a great guy who is an amazing photographer and also owns a nice gallery in Breckenridge. Ill add more about him in a little bit.

Thanks honey for a memorable weekend. Ill post some photos here for yall to see.

And good news is he is flying home this weekend for a long weekend to visit us.

I was so excited to see a Woodpecker right in front of me on the Aspen trees one morning! He was so cute!

Heres a short clip of our son Snowboarding. He intentionally falls at the end to stop. I wish he would of just kept going so you can see his Mad Skills! lol.

He went down runs that were double blacks! I dont know where he gets his energy! He snowboarded all day long until the lifts closed!

He said he did fall a few times when he was way up top where it was double black runs and he said NO ONE WAS AROUND up there. I guess no one is crazy enough to go up there but him! haha.

Oh and that is where my CELL PHONE IS NOW. Lying at the top of one of the mountains at Breckenridge Colorado.
