One door closes, another opens

I started my weekend meeting Alexis' grandma and her aunt & uncle. We headed to Vail on Thursday where we rode the gondola up Vail Mountain, grabbed a bite to eat and spent the evening at Chad's (Alexis' cousin's) work condo. Friday grandma, Rankey and I hit the outlet mall in Silverthorne where we found great holiday sales including an awesome deal on a light fall jacket from Columbia.

Geoff picked me up there and we headed to meet some friends at a cabin in Grand Lake. We spent two nights where we went on a hike in the Rocky Mountain National Park, stopped in town to check out some of the cute shops and meeting up with the group for a ride on the lake to an island where we grilled dinner. On our drive home we took the long way through Rocky Mountain National Park. We drove the highest road in the US reaching over 12,000 feet, right up there with the snow.

It was a nice weekend, getting home Sunday night left me all day today to relax. It was a very exciting day for Alexis and she has a rough week of softball ahead of herself.
