Keystone

 While we were in New Zealand for 2 months without a babysitter, Lane & I decided a little getaway was a must! Right then we bought a Groupon for a condo in Keystone. It was a quick trip (3 days, 2 nights) but a good one. I wasn't sure what we would get, but I was completely shocked at how nice our condo was. Wood floors throughout, updated kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 1 with a jacuzzi tub, large living room, etc. We were very pleased. There was so much snow! Some areas it was piled up as tall as me.



While we were there we spent 1 day skiing. We rented snow blades (short skis). I am by no means a skier. I had a lot of fun, but each time I made it down the mountain, I kept thinking, "ok you've made it down safely. Don't push your luck." When did I become such a worry wart?


We also went tubing. That was really fun.


 Our favorite activity was the sleigh ride. Bert & Ernie were pulling our sleigh. They took us on a 20 minute ride to a cabin in the woods where we enjoyed a 3 course meal and live music. Oh the food was SO good! First there was hot chocolate, biscuits & the most delicious stew. I ate way too much & was full after the 1st course. Then our main course came. I had grilled chicken & Lane had the NY strip. And for dessert it was apple pie & ice cream.
This guy was such a great musician & he was so nice.
Before we headed back to the airport we had some extra time, so we stopped by the temple to snap a few pictures.
This is one of my favorite trips. Well it's actually our only trip we've had without kids since having kids. So I guess it's by default. Either way, it was so nice to just have some time to relax, read magazines, watch tv & spend time with Lane (all uninterrupted).

Looks like fun. We haven't booked any getaways on groupon. I'm glad it was nice.

Yay! What a fun and much needed getaway. With how much Lane works it's about time you two snuck off for a bit. I LOVE Keystone! And that condo looks awesome.

How fun! Scott and I are in need of a vacation this year, and we'd love to go someplace with snow!

After I graduate, I hope we can plan two vacations… one with kiddos, and one without!

How romantic. The ice castle is too cool. :-)

Such a good idea! Scott and I need to do something like that. Glad you got to get away. Looks really pretty there!
