Rocky Mountain HighER

So, about that recap of our Colorado vacation that I never finished ...

After a few days in Estes Park with the Houston Lindemans, Craig, Park and I headed west and up a couple thousand feet to Summit County (the Dillon, Frisco, Breckenridge area). This is a special place for all of us. Craig spent many family vacations here as a kid at his aunt's condo on Buffalo Mountain. We've also been there a few times together over the years and got engaged in Frisco ... which just happens to be Park's middle name. Needless to say, we were excited to introduce the little guy to the area.

Many things had changed since our last visit, but one thing that had remained the same: we had a great mountain breakfast at The Sunshine Cafe. Park especially loved his first Mickey Mouse pancake (notice his hands signing "more").



Luckily, Frisco was a big hit with Park Frisco.







Breckenridge is always a great place for a little shopping, a big crepe and a fun stroller ride - especially after eating the best homemade salsa and big black bean burrito at the Breckenridge Brewery.



A bike ride around Dillon Lake sounded like a good idea at the time. Too bad we didn't check the forecast for late morning storms or take our rain coats. These two amateur parents totally deserved the frozen fingers and soaked clothing. Park wasn't about to share his warm and dry ride in the Burley. If only he had stayed awake for the last mile to see the deer.



And that concludes the Colorado Vacation 2010. Can't wait to go back next year!
