Hitting the Slopes- Colorado Style!!!

Eric and Brooke went on vacation with Brooke’s mom and Step Dad, Brother (Chris) and his girl friend (Jen) and spent a long weekend in Colorado. The first day we rented ski’s and realized our ski rack was broken, made way to our beautiful log home in Breckenridge, and the hit the grocery store to get the essentials! Day #2- We went to Vail!! It was freezing and snowing all day. Vail was great, sooooo big, although some of the slopes weren’t groomed. Vail is a place you need to stay at for a week to ski all of their slopes, being our first day skiing this year this was a lot of work for us. Getting back to the car and putting on our shoes was the best feeling!!! We then walked around the little town which was SOOOO cute and awesome!!!

#3- #5 we Spent the rest of our time in Breckenridge!!! What a cool town, we really want to go back there in the summer sometime soon. Breckenridge skiing was a group favorite as well, 155 trails, an assortment of Greens for Eric and Jen, and they were PLOWED!!!

We wandered the streets of Breck as well. We experienced our favorite new Mexican restaurant called Mi Casa, the margaritas were to die for, maybe because we were sooooo sore and hungry by the time we got there!!! Eric found the Breckenridge Brewery which coincidentally was named “Eric’s” and Brooke found a gigantic Callie Wallie on the side-walk, poor thing had a photo shoot once I got ahold of it!!! All in all we had a great time in Colorado and looking forward to going back sometime in the future!!!
