Denver/ Family Ski Trip

Chris and I spent a nice relaxing President's Day weekend in Denver and Keystone Resort with Carla, Chad and Mary. On Saturday we went on a sleigh ride. It was so pretty, it was snowing and very cold. When we arrived at our destination, we stopped, took pictures, froze and drank what was supposed to be hot apple cider but turned out to be almost luke warm. But whatever, the mountains were there, the snow was falling and it was amazing.

While everyone went skiing on Sunday, I went to the spa. It was so relaxing and wonderful and coincidentally, my first prenatal massage. I was so pampered, I should really think about convincing Chris that I should have one of these every week. I got to drink lemon and cucumber infused water, which was so refreshing. The spa was set up like the mountain lodges you see on TV. It was one amazing experience. I also got my very first facial. Such a relaxing and pampering day.

Chris had a great time skiing and managed not to hurt his knees or fall, thank God for small favors. I guess I should explain, Chris and his brother Chad made a bet that whichever one fell first would have to ski down the mountain without a shirt. Step back ladies, he's all mine!!! The resort was heavenly, the mountains were majestic and the air was so clean.

We are back in DC, things are back to normal, and back to the daily grind of life. I'll post some pictures when I get them loaded off the camera. One thing I will say about Colorado, besides it being one of the most beautiful places on Earth, was that it was cold. I mean really really cold. Even bundling up, you still froze. Small sacrifices for the beauty that God has made. It doesn't get much better than that.
