Last week Kenny and I were in Breckenridge, CO for our annual ski trip. This year we actually combined two trips into one: the first half of the week we were with his family and the second half we met up with some friends.
On my doctor’s orders, I stayed back at the house resting and watching the Olympics while all of the skiers hit the slopes. The change of scenery was extremely nice, though: I loved being able to look out of the windows and see the snow falling!
We were there over Mardi Gras, and we certainly weren’t the only New Orleanians escaping the Carnival craziness! Kenny wore his LSU ski hat and got lots of “Geaux Tigers!” and “Who Dat!” on the slopes. But that doesn’t mean we completely forgot about Fat Tuesday at 10,000 feet: we made our own kingcakes!
I did get out of the house for a couple of trips to town the first part of the week, which was great. We walked around, tasted some of the newly fallen snow, window shopped, and (my favorite part) got fresh made-to-order crepes. Delicious!
We had a great time with family (thanks, Mom and Dad S!), and then it was time to shift gears and switch houses for the friends trip. More on that later!
