Crested Butte Trip

Hey, all! Jeremy and I just got back from a ski trip to Crested Butte, Colorado. I know you've read the posts before...it's our favorite place in the world! Jeremy and I sometimes think, "how can we retire at 30 and live in Crested Butte full time??" Yeah, teaching and real estate is obviously not the answer!!! Haha!!! This time we decided to share it with our friends, Brown and Erica! It was a great trip, short-- but great. We left on Wednesday right after work and drove part way that night (spent the night in Dumas, TX...lots to see and do there...haha!!!) and the rest of the trip on Thursday. We skiied on Friday, shopped on Saturday (it was snowing so hard you could barely see in front of you so we decided that it would be a good shopping day), and then skiied on Sunday. I know from the pics it looks like we didn't ski at all BUT no pics were taken on the mountain because it was too freakin' cold to get the camera out and take my hand out of my gloves!! It snowed 18 inches in 48 hours so you can imagine how cold it was!! The drive back was a little hairy....it took us 21 hours instead of the usual 16 because of the weather and slick roads. I had to work the next morning and I didn't get to sleep until 4 am...needless to say, I was a zombie at school! But, it was a great start to the holiday season. The town was all decorated with lights and wreaths and Christmas music was playing everywhere....along with Bob Marley which is why I love CB so much!
Enjoy the pics!!
snowball fight!
