Lads and Ladies of Leisure

At Marshall’s suggestion, we booked a last minute trip to Vail before my new job starts and in-person school starts for the boys. Mud season is great for two reasons: cheaper rates and an empty hotel. 

We headed up early Saturday afternoon after watching the Huskies lose. It was in the 50s when we arrived and the boys headed straight for the pool. We then enjoyed happy hour in front of the fire. Marshall and I also participated in the champagne sabering and we took advantage of the free cookies at 5:00. The evening contoured with various binge watching of shows and games and the hot tub for D-man and me. 

We expected to wake to snow on Sunday, but it held off until  early afternoon. We snagged a spot by the conference rooms where there is NO ONE and played a board game over breakfast. Marshall and I snuck away for a massage and some time in the relaxation room (where there was no one) and then hit the pool and hot tub with T-man. 

We snagged another spot in the hotel with no one and had snacks and played cards while the snow came down outside. We wrapped up the evening with room service and the boys doing a nighttime swim. 

Monday morning saw work, homework, sleeping and some hot tubbing before getting back to Louisville around 3:00. Such a nice time away in a beautiful place. As T-man said, we should do this every year!
