Colorado Retreat: Day 1

This past weekend, Arielle and I went up to Colorado Springs to visit her high school friend Laura and her husband Vinny. Since it's about a 7 hour drive, we took a long weekend and headed out after I finished shooting football on Friday. We got in town about 4 am hung out for a bit then went to sleep. Promptly at 8am, Arielle and I were woken up by their 4 year old daughter Alyssa. Luckily I was able to get another 30-45 minutes of sleep while Arielle kept Alyssa busy.

After breakfast we loaded up the car and headed up to Breckenridge, a ski town about 2 hours away. Vinny's parents own a condo up there, so we went to hang out. On the way we went through Hoosier pass. This was a twisting stretch of road with tight turns and steep hills. Lucky for us it snowed earlier that week and the road was covered in ice.

After we got in town we hung out, warmed up since the high that day was in the mid 20s, then headed out to check out the town.
