Vacation - Day 5

 Today is our last day in Breckenridge.  It's been a great, but short trip.  We have enjoyed every single second of our time here and can't wait to come back. 

Today we took a tour at the Country Boy Mine.  It was really interesting and we got to experience just a tad of what these guys had to do to "hit the jackpot!"

After our tour of the mine, we went to the top of Boreas Pass.  It's amazing up there.  We drove to the top on a long, and winding gravel road....with breathtaking views.  (Some were just a little too close to the edge of a drop-off...if you ask me!)

 Standing up through the sunroof....was a big hit!  Since we were only going about 10 mph....I was okay with it! 

Our time was short, but we made some awesome memories.  As we head back home....we don't say "goodbye" to Colorado....we say, "See ya soon!" 

Vacation - Day 4

 Today we decided to get on our bikes and do a little riding.  We took a shuttle to the top of Vail Pass.  It's basically a 12-mile downhill bike path.  It was awesome.....pretty much no pedaling.  But you see those gray clouds in the first picture.....well we stayed dry until about the last 2 miles.  Then it poured!  Andy (always thinking) brought along three kitchen garbage sacks from our condo.  They came in handy!  The kids were troopers...but we were freezing and soaked by the time we got back to the car.  Maggie and I were laughing the entire time.  Definitely a memorable experience.  

Aren't we cute!

After we had some lunch and warmed up in the hot tub.....we headed back out to Loveland Pass!

for hiking.... 

climbing...

 and standing on top of the world!

(Can you see them up there...pretty cool, don't ya think!)

Vacation - Day 3

 Today we took a ride on the Leadville Colorado & Southern Railroad.  Max was so excited.  It was about a 2 1/2 hour ride....and we enjoyed every minute. 

 Max bought a train on the train ride.....he's pretty proud of it...can you tell!  A big thanks to Grandma & Paca for the kids spending money.  Even after buying the train he has a little bit of money left. 

After the train ride and a little lunch at Tennessee Pass Cafe in Leadville (Thank you Urbanspoon....it was an awesome lunch!) we stopped to check out this little rock.  The pictures really don't do it justice.  It was a mini mountain in my opinion.  Maggie was dying to go rock climbing....so that's just what we did.

 

Can you see them....Maggie & Andy are on top....they came back down and got Max and I just so we could see how amazing it was....and it was!

Right now we are just chillin out while daddy is out for a "real" mountain bike ride.  Then we'll head back into Breck to do a little downtown shopping.   We are having so much fun....don't want it to end.
