Weekend in Winter Park

This past weekend we got away to Winter Park with just our happy family of five.  We stayed in one of my co-worker's condos, which was beautiful and spacious.  There really is nothing like spending carefree time in the mountains.  I love the mountains in the Summer.  I think there is as much to do and beauty, maybe more, than the Winter season.  We enjoyed dinner on a restaurant patio Friday night.  Although the food wasn't great, the beer was, of course.  I had a pomegranate wheat and a blueberry wheat beer.  Delish!  On Saturday, we went to the resort, where the kids and Daniel got Adventure Passes for the day.  This gave them unlimited access to the longest alpine slide, trampolines with bungee cords, mini golf, a human maze, zip line, rock wall, etc.  There was also a huge bike race/event going on all week.  Their favorites were the alpine slide and the trampolines.  Andrew did awesome....he sat in his stroller like a big boy (without being in the carseat).  He took a nap, then just cruised around until about 1300, then we went back to the condo so he could take a real nap.  Daniel and the kids stayed until almost 1700 and they were wiped when we picked them up.  We enjoyed a nice family dinner of spaghetti that evening, the kids watched a movie and D and I enjoyed cocktails on the patio while rain poured down around us.  Beautiful.  The only thing that wasn't beautiful about the weekend experience was the traffic on our way back.  It can almost ruin your entire weekend.  Luckily, it wasn't that bad and Andrew was a champ.  If I could get away to somewhere in the mountains every weekend, life would be grand.  Maybe someday.
