Day & Becky, the Louisiana Haaland's: SKI TRIP TO COLORADO

What a great vacation! Our Christmas gift to ourselves was another trip to Colorado but this time, in the winter with snow everywhere. I had an awesome time! So did Day and Rachael...they skiied for 4 days! Rachael did some cross country skiing and I did some snow shoe walking at Top of the Pines near Ridgeway. We visited with Day's brother, Chris and his lovely wife, Sara and beautiful daughter, Emma. The only bad thing about going to Colorado....is having to leave! We looked at some houses there....hoping to move within a couple of years!

We stayed at the River Club condos in Telluride for four days.....this is a great place with excellent service! I tried to ski but after two days, had enough; I turned in my equipment and enjoyed walking for the rest of the trip....much easier. Day and Rachael, on the other hand, really enjoyed skiing and did so for four days solid! We had snow two days...it was awesome! Rachael moved up to the "blue" trails and was super happy!

Afterwards, we headed to Ridegeway to spend time with Christen and Sara. Also went to our beloved Ouray; the yearly Ice Climbing Festival happened to be the weekend we were there! Rachael was ready to climb but hadn't broght the right clothes and was freezing cold! Next time, she says! And I believe her!

We also got to visit the area that Henrik's next artwork is done on....although it was covered with snow, unlike when he did his sketches...we could definitely see the place.....just as he now has it painted on canvas!

Sunday....time to head home....and the sad time. As usual, the only bad thing about Colorado....is having to leave!
