Breckenridge, Colorado. Heaven on Earth!

Greetings from Robb & Kate! Aaaaaaaaaah... We are in the final stages of decompression from one of the most amazing places and one of the most needed weekends ever. For both of us.
The greatest thing about it was to have our kids with us to enjoy this small 'peace' of heaven. And no, we are not pregnant again. We speak of Nevi and Dylan, the two greatest little beings there are.
We stayed at a place called 'The Lodge and Spa at Breckenridge', which Robb scored on hotels.com. Human-friendly, dog-friendly and view-friendly, it exceeded our expectations in almost every way. The picture of the Lodge (below) says it all. It is situated near the top of a ridge, with breathtaking views on three sides. The fourth side wasn't bad either. Although we didn't take advantage of the discount on spa services they offered, it was a fantastic weekend physically as well as visually. We ate, we slept, we hiked and spent a little time each night in the hot tub...thank GOD for baby monitors. The town of Breckenridge was fun to wander and cool to experience from the FREE Gondola ride that allowed both 16 month old human and 10 year old dog, passing over Cucumber Gulch Wetlands on the way to Breckenridge Ski Area, elevation 12, 998. Our parking place was good enough for a tour of the main drag, Main Street, where Dylan was beckoned into stores by friendly and complimentary shop owners. We even received welcome dog training tips. Saw our friend, Cat, unexpectedly, ate great food and even had time for Nevi to dip her feet in at a stop along the Riverwalk. Feels great to be home.
Early to bed tonight for both of us. Catch ya next time!
