Our trip was kinda last minute. The dog sitter did not get back to us about watching the girls til Thursday night at 9, so we made reservations Friday morning. It is a slow time for the mountain towns, no skiing and no summer activities, so thankfully we did not have a problem making last minute reservations.
We headed up on Friday afternoon, walked around town, took a slight detour to a much farther grocery store because we forgot where the on in Breck is, and then checked into our condo.
I loooved our condo. It was walking distance to main street, where all the shops and restaurants are, but it is also walking distance to the lifts, and skating rink. It had underground parking, access to hot tubs and heated pool, and a balcony that overlooks an area that has concerts and farmers markets. Not to mention the size and decor was nice, and the bathroom was nicer than ours at home. I decided I had to have it! We looked up how much one would cost that was a similar unit, and it was only $450,000! What!?! It was a one bedroom! Maybe one day, but we really enjoyed it in the meantime.
After exploring the condo, we had a unpleasant dinner due to an extremely cranky child, and then an after dinner show. The show involved a very drunk man and his girl friend who got into an argument. They were yelling and screaming at each other as we were walking by and the guy almost hit his girlfriend! We went back up to our condo, but we could still see and hear the fight, and the guy started throwing beers and yelling at friends at the restaurant below our condo. We figured his parents must own the restaurant or half of Breckenridge otherwise the cops would be called. But eventually they settled down, it was quite exciting at the time.
Saturday was pretty gross outside, cold and rainy, so we had to try to find things to do mostly indoors. We layed around and Jerm made breakfast, Brady had a morning nap, and we headed out to explore. My idea was to go on an old gold mine tour, but I was overruled and we went shopping to outlet stores instead and found some great deals on some fall clothes for Brady. Hey I can't argue with shopping. We also found some Bluebell ice cream and we were very excited about that. We then went to a Italian festival in nearby Keystone. It was small but Brady really enjoyed the bounce house, and they did have great meatballs. We ended the day with some dinner and yummy cookies for dessert.
Sunday we drove around and explored, went to the Children's museum, went to a farmers market, had a super yummy crepe, and headed home.
Now that I think about it, we mostly ate the entire weekend, it was so good though!
Over all it was a great weekend and just the thing we needed to relax. I love being able to go on little vacations even if it is just a few hours away.
