On the Road Again...!

It's been a while since we've gotten out of town, but here we are in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. (Actually we're staying in Louisville, if you want to be technical about it.)

This is a working vacation -- if there is such a thing! And Boulder is really just a stop along the way to give us time to get acclimated to the altitude before moving on to Beaver Creek. Our "job," if you will, is to review two ski resorts: first, Beaver Creek, then Keystone for thebestskiresorts.com. We have several activities scheduled to experience, then we will write up a review and send it in for publication on the website. (Rough life, huh!?!) This is our first go at this, so we'll see how it goes, but I'm thinking it's not going to be too bad... ;-)

Anyway, Boulder has been great. We got to see our friend, Hilary, today. We met her at the cutest little tea house in Louisville (the Huckleberry). The food was good, the tea was tasty, and the ambiance was perfect! It was also wonderful having a chance to catch up with our young friend (the daughter of our dear friends Rusty and Peggy from back home).

After lunch with Hilary, we went to the Celestial Seasonings headquarters where we got to take the official tour, then we drove through Boulder Canyon to Nederland, which ended up being a much longer drive than we anticipated. But it was at least 14 degrees cooler up there, and very beautiful, so it was worth the trip.

The kids have gotten to swim a couple of times, we've driven through the mountains, visited the Boulder Falls, and we even got to do a little antiquing today. Tomorrow we check out and move on to the next destination. I'm not certain we're acclimated to the altitude yet, but move on we must.

One thing's for certain...I miss my dawg! :-( And I'll bet he's missing us too!
