Nope to the Slopes

We're on our way back from a wonderful weekend in Eagle at chez de Smiley. On Friday morning, a friend asked if D-man wanted to ski with them at Winter Park so D-man had a different getaway weekend (happy for him, but sad he wasn't with us). 

On Friday, I picked up the boys early from school and we met Marshall at the park-n-ride and got to Eagle around 6:00. We then headed to Frost Creek for a chef prepared meal of lobster pasta and duck. It was a family style dinner and we had a lot of laughs. 

While we had intended to go skiing, we ended up at the hot springs in Glenwood Springs for the afternoon on Saturday. It was sunny and gorgeous - T-man and I even got sunburns! 

We then made a delicious steak dinner with potatoes and grilled asparagus after some cocktails and appetizers. It was a very relaxing and fun day spent with the Smiley's. 

On Sunday, we had talked of potentially skiing on our way home, but we had a nice breakfast, played Eucke, ping pong, and the adults took a 2 hour hike. Now we are slogging through traffic on our way home, but it is worth it.  So no skiing, but truly a mini-vacation getaway.
