Winter Day Trip
After a particularly snowy week we were happy to see sunshine when we got up yesterday morning. Lyle suggested going for a drive in the mountains to see the fresh snow. Rebecca and Cookie accepted our invitation to ride along.
We started out early because I was afraid the sunshine might not last. Sure enough, it was only partly sunny during our drive. Still, the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful.

Our route took us through the ski resort towns of Breckenridge and Keystone.

I thought the name of this coffee shop in Breckenridge was clever. I love a good play on words.
We were especially interested in watching the skiiers. Needless to say, the ski runs were quite busy after all the “fresh powder” this past week.
We pulled into a scenic overlook above the chair lift at Arapahoe Basin. It was neat to have a bird’s eye view. Lyle and Rebecca would have liked to go skiing themselves. Maybe another time.
It sure is fun to have beautiful scenery so close to home when we are in the mood to go for a drive.
