Living the High Life

Yup, that is us - living the high life in Breckenridge, Colorado.  We had a beautiful weekend and wonderful friends who joined us.  Was a wonderful 'Staycation'.  Kyle had the excellent idea of a Staycation since we often take the beauty of Colorado for granted.  We started it off meeting up for happy hour at ... where else?... a Marriot (who Kyle just so happens to work for).

Our Friday evening was pretty much more of what you see in the first two pictures... no need to relive those glory days.  Saturday morning we had planned to snow shoe (notice the lack of snow near us) or hike.  As a result of staying up too late on Friday night... we decided to take it easy on Saturday.  That included starting our day out by the hot tub!  The girls even got a few laps in (they are training for a tri this Aug).

After we got 'enough sun' we decided to walk around Breck to see the beauty and check out the local shops.  One of those shops just so happened to be a local distillery.  Free tastings? Sure!

After a leisurely check out on Sunday, we hit the road to head out to Dillon on our way home.  There is a range set up that is self managed by the participants present.  It was a great range with a beautiful view of the mountains.  Only downfall? Those darn power lines were detracting from our view... oh ... and yeah... the range was directly next to the landfill (ew).  We brought up three different guns for the occasion, Kyle's 9Mil, Amy's 45 and Kris' AR-15.  All of the guns were great fun to shoot!  Here are the best pictures of us 'looking tuff'.  But first, a lesson on the guns for everyone.  Safety First, kiddos!

See what I mean about the beauty of the mountains! ... but those darn power lines!  I love this next picture.  It was Amy's first shot ever on the AR-15.  You can just hear me say "whoa" in the picture.  It sure was fun to shoot!  Not an awful lot of kickback, but pretty loud!

Another Staycation in our Future?? I Sure Hope So!  Next time, we might even bring the kids!
