Weekend away!

Thanks to my mom being in town, Josh and I were able to get away for a grown-up weekend. We went up to the lovely, quaint town of Breckenridge, Colorado. Josh had entered in some contest to win a motorcycle, but instead he won a weekend in Breckenridge, with one small stipulation - we had to sit through one of those timeshare presentations. When I first heard about this "small stipulation", I could have given him a gut-punch, but it really wasn't as bad as I had anticipated.

We headed up to the mountains on Friday night after school - making one short stop in Loveland for dinner at the Rock Bottom Brewery. Then on Saturday morning our internal alarm clocks (set to Kyler's schedule) went off at 6:30, so we decided to get up and seize the day. We had a few hours before the Oktoberfest Celebration got underway, so we decided to take a short drive up to the Continental Divide and hike around a little bit.




At about 10:30 we headed back down into town because Oktoberfest started at 11:00. Once we were in town, we got on line, purchased our one-liter beer steins and drink tickets and started celebrating! We were even able to meet up with some of our buddies! Our friends, Jeff and Jaime have access to a condo in Keystone, so they were up for the weekend too. (I'm still waiting on a picture from Jamie of me dressed up as a German girl.)



After drinking it up at Oktoberfest we went over to our timeshare presentation. I think us walking in with our beer steins told them that we weren't really there to buy a timeshare, but we were there for the party. They weren't obnoxiously pushy, in fact, the didn't even try to sell us anything! We had a great time, but I surly missed Ky! When we got home he was glad to see us and we were glad to see him!
