Breckenridge, CO



On Friday, Jan 16th we left 939 24th Street with our Jeep Cherokee packed to the hilt and our dog Tasha with barely any room to sit. We dropped her off at her new home in the Santa Monica Canyons and continued on to Las Vegas. We spent the night there and the next morning drove 6 hours to Richfield, UT. From there we had the last 6 hr. drive to Breckenridge, CO
Today marks the end of the first week of our new adventure. As Howard says"we're not on vacation... this is life!" Its been snowing here and is beautiful. We're staying in a great condo walking distance to the Main Street. There has been a special event going on all week; Ice Sculptors from all over the world were given a very large block of ice to create gorgeous works of art. We have been truly blown away. We've skiied this mountain and Beaver Creek so far, but there are several more areas to explore. One of the days we packed a lunch and went snow shoeing on a designated trail right outside the town. About 5 minutes down the road from here is a beautiful Recreation Center where we have been able to do all the workouts we enjoy. Devon has come from Boulder to visit here twice already. Carly has been enjoying her last semester at Barnard College, eager to graduate. Best wishes to everyone, and to a successful new year. 
With Love,
Howard and Tracey

  1. Nice pics. So these are the snow shoes Carly described as tennis rackets? I was mystified at first, but now I am really excited to try them out.
