A Great First Day of Skiing

Well I'm very glad to report that today was my first day on the slopes this year here in Breckenridge, CO; and it was fantastic! It snowed most of the day so visibility was down, but having the fresh powder on the ground made the slopes almost perfect.



Laura was able to come up for the weekend this year so that has made the trip extra good for me. I was a bit worried about how she might do on the slopes considering that she hasn't skied in almost eight years, but I was blown away by how well she did =)

Today was also special because we were able to meet up with some of my friends from Nashville, Jeff and Katherine Jones and their two kids Matthew and Mia. I've been telling Jeff and Katherine that they should visit Breckenridge for years now and so this year they decided to take a trip up here, but neither of us had any idea that they scheduled their trip on a weekend that would overlap my stay here. Once we realized



that we were going to be up here during the same weekend my step-mom, Carol, offered to watch their kids for them on Saturday so we could all go skiing together. After a good day of skiing we came back to the condo, played with Matthew and Mia, ate dinner and just hung out. Not a bad start for a vacation, I'm looking forward to the rest of it.
