New Revised Plan

We have changed our schedule a bit. Instead of going to Jennifer's condo, you will be stopping at a fabulous restaurant for lunch and then continuing to Frisco later in the afternoon. We took this same route and it helped with acclimating. After leaving the rental car area, proceed on I-70 to the Dillon/Silverthorne Exit. Turn left and proceed to the Dillon Dam Brewery (on right). There will be signs along the way. We would recommend the Quesdadilla Apollo. Whenever you are finished, there is an oulet mall right by the exit or get back on I-70...go to Frisco Exit (very next exit). The main shopping area in Frisco is on Main Street. There are great shops in Frisco. The house should be ready about 4:15. The house is just a few Blocks off main street.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone. Safe travels!

We're here!

Settling in...in the magnificent mountains! Our trip went very smoothly and we are now acclimating. The weather is wonderful and the mountains could not be more beautiful. We will give you an update in a few days...

We are all a little loony because of the altitude but the green tea seems to be helping!! Be prepared.

Check your shoes and politics at the door!

Just a few words to help make our stay more enjoyable.

The owners are requesting no shoes in the condo, so please pack extra socks or slippers if you desire. We are hoping for a fun, pleasant week so we are also asking that our politics stay home. Thanks!

Check the weather as you pack. The weather in Colorado has been quite mild, please look at the forecast as we get closer. You may want to try weather.com and click on the hourly forecast. Colorado is not having the hot weather we are. Pack those layers!

EXCITED!
