This is lake Dillon which is still frozen but if you wait a week from now there will be boats sailing on this lake.
The slush season is here and as you can see when the snow starts to melt it gets messy and not all that pretty either, even though the memories just a month before were of skiing up to this patch of ground and enjoying a Bratwurst roll with a beer.

It was this time last year when we stepped onto that Boeing and took off for New York not knowing what to expect or where we would land up. Well the adventure has taken a little more shape than either of us could have ever imagined.
So in celebration of the one year mark Lesleigh had booked us a room in what is a very upmarket hotel right at the base of the ski lifts. It was a great day and even though it is the slushy season it was a good break from town. The Saturday morning we took a road trip to see the mountains in transition between winter and the spring before heading back past Lake Dillon and then onto some friends in a place called Erie which is an hour north of Denver.
What an evening we had as we drank way to much and as the rain fell all around us as we braaied on the balcony under the umbrella. Well I was well done a long time ahead of the food being ready and got a really funny spate of hiccups which I could not get rid of no matter how hard I tried. We got to bed after midnight and had a very sensitive body on Sunday morning. When I got home, I mowed the lawn drank lots of water and then played 2 hours of tennis to get the alcohol out of the blood stream to feel half human once again.
Now we are at the end of another week and I cant wait for the weekend with warmer and drier weather forecast it is going to be a great one! Friends and Family Enjoy your weekends and enjoy the outdoors come rain or shine, because it is the place to be.
