Telluride

We had the best vacation in Telluride! Lots of skiing, fun, and food to be had! The McDonalds were great to let us and the Thames crash their annual vacation! We were so impressed with how gorgeous everything was. Super cold and 17" of new snow -- the most snow either of us had ever seen -- we got "dumped on" with lots of fresh powder!
I spent two days in ski school and then skied some the last day -- can't say I'm hooked, but I did it. Alex tore up the mountain and pretty much did every run except for the some of the double blacks. Can't wait to get home and see Kirkley -- thanks Grammy for keeping her while we were gone!

Some Telluride favorites:
  • Steaming Bean Coffee -- We brought home 4 pounds!
  • Our hotel, The Inn at Lost Creek -- ski in, ski out, hot tub on the roof, great restaurant inside, lots of perks -- would totally stay there again! They gave us a good rental/lift/room deal, and I wouldn't go without the little guy waiting outside the door ready to hand me my skis.
  • Great food -- Cosmopolitan was probably our favorite with the brie at the Floradora coming in a close second. We ate well knowing we'd ski it off!
  • Seeing my husband's face soooo excited as he conquered Revelation Bowl and the black runs -- he was too cute and this was his kind of vacation!
