Road Trip

Kim had planned a surprise weekend getaway for us and it was AWESOME!

We left Denver Saturday and headed West. The drive wasn't too bad. The West side of Vail pass was a little sketchy in places, but not too dangerous. Once we got into Glenwood Canyon the roads were very icy, so I stayed safe and drove a little slow. It's only about 13 miles so it didn't take too long. Once we got into Glenwood Springs, we headed South towards Snowmass. Yes, that was our destination!

We pulled into Snowmass and checked in to the Stonebridge Inn.This hotel is in a great location; just a 4 minute walk to the slopes, not that we were going to ski but is right in the heart of the village. We had a quick lunch at Fuel and decided to head over to Aspen.

The bus to Aspen is a quick ride and $3 per person. Very good deal and we didn't have to worry about parking etc. We did a little window shopping and thought about going to a movie. So we headed to Isis and saw Juno. I have been wanting to see this movie for quite some time and so glad we did. I really enjoyed the movie and highly recommend it. I have to say it is one of my all time favorites. Then we had dinner at Blue Maize and took the bus back to the hotel.

We were 'supposed' to go snowshoeing, but Kim had other plans. The hotel van took us on a 5 minute ride and we arrived at the Krabloonik kennels. I have been talking about dogsledding for a few years and now we get to do it! What a fantastic wife I have!!!

Here are the pictures.



We had a wonderful lunch in their restaurant and then hauled ass back to Denver to watch the Super Bowl. Which has just ended and it did not go my way. Not much more to say anymore about the game. A great weekend overall though!
