On Thursday morning we packed up and Karen, Luke, & Katie drove us to a little town on Hwy 70 to meet Heather. We all had lunch together and we drove with Heather to her condo in Winter Park. We walked over a bridge from her place to the "Village". The slopes were right there. In the winter she walks to the chair lift. Pretty sweet location. We finally got to watch some of the Olympics. Heather and I went to North Park College in Chicago our freshman year together and then both transferred out. She stayed in Chicago and I went off to MA. We became good friends that first year and have stayed close for the past 27 years. We've been on many adventures together. It was so good to be together.
Josie and Eric took a chairlift half way up the mountain and rode the alpine slide down. They both enjoyed it. Josie kept wanting to go faster.
Josie wanted to organize things at Heather's so first it was matches and letter silverware. I guess she wasn't that into the Olympics.
The next day we rode the chairlift to the top of the mountain and Eric rode Heather's mountain bike on trails around and then eventually down the mountain and Heather and I hiked down with Josie on my back.
We walked around in some shops in the heart of Winter Park and then headed back to Heather's house in Denver. Heather actually lives outside of Denver in Edgewater. She has an adorable house and a cute little downtown. We walked to a pizza place for dinner and it was so nice and warm out. On the way we passed a little park and a guy was hanging out with a bunch of hula hoops waiting for people to use them. We ate some great pizza and cheered with everyone for the hometown Olympic favorite swimmer Missy. We had to wake up super early and Heather drove us to the airport and that was the end of a great vacation.
