Road Trip Photos



Tim and I had a blast the last two days. We decided that it was time to get out of Grand County and take a little random road trip. We looked online for dog friendly hotels around Frisco or Steamboat or Breckenridge and found a great quaint little place about a block off of main street in Frisco. The Woods Inn http://www.woodsinn.biz. It's defenitely worth checking out if you'r in that area and need a cool place to stay. All of the rooms are decorated differently and we stayed in the European Winterhausen room. It was kinda funky with a bunch of different art work, really high ceilings, a fluffy down comforter, a nice outdoor covered hot tub, and really friendly staff. Unfortunately, we gorged ourselves on tasty margaritas and mexican food and didn't end up getting down to check out the hot tub for ourselves. Fun place. Our only complaint was that it wasn't very sound proof. Every time someone came or went in the rooms next door, we knew about it. We'd reccommend it anyway.

The next morning we got up (after getting up several times throughout the night to deal with the dogs, namely Copper), checked out and went to find coffee.




I had a huge breakfast veggie, cheese, and egg bagel sandwich with an Irish Cream Latte which was very good. Tim shared part of my huge bagel and had a latte himself. We hit the road and decided to check out Leadville since I'd never been there and Tim wanted to see Melanzana http://www.melanzana.com which is a place there that makes and sells fleece gear. We both bought really cool fleece tops and then took a walk down main street to an antique mall. This was a huge neat old building jam packed with stuff from bottles, to postcards, to skeleton keys, old jewelry, you name it, if it was old, it was there. I found a cool skirt that happened to fit, and that was our only purchase there.
We left Leadville and decided to go sledding on some random mountain on the way back towards home. We stopped at some resevoir in Summit county and sledded ourselves silly. The dogs were loving it and we couldn't believe that such a simple contraption could be so much fun!






After we pulled ourselves away from the sledding hill we decided to head back homeward. We of course had to stop at the Dam Brewery in Dillon on our way back. After a few beers, we headed home. It was so nice to get away from work for a while. Colorado has so many neat places we want to see that we can't decide where next trip will take us.
