Good for the Soul

Our mountain escape was a much needed get away from home. T-man stated there wasn’t much to do at the house, but I talked to him about why getting away is good for the adults (there is no chore nagging to be done when you aren’t home). In addition, we have spent more time at home in the last 1.5 years than ever so another reason getting away in nice. 

It also struck me on our second day in Breckenridge that this is likely the last Labor Day weekend that D-man makes the trip with us. I tried not to focus on the fact it could be the last, but the fact that he wanted to get away this weekend just as we have for so many years. On Sunday, we did a hike, had happy hour on the deck, got the majority of folks to play cards, more time in the hot tub and had a delicious meal. 

On Monday, we were able to spend the day at the base of peak 7 thanks to Alana and Paul’s timeshare. More cards, hot tub and reading for the adults, time in the pool and a private movie theatre for the kids. We had a late lunch a dan were able to wait out the traffic so the ride home was only 2 hours. What a treat to be able to have such a great retreat so close to home.
