Steamboat

Last weekend we had a little family getaway into the mountains.  The weather was beautiful, and the scenery was gorgeous too!  The leaves on some of the trees were changing!

We didn't really do a lot in Steamboat.  We enjoyed time together.  I had a migraine on Friday which included a hangover on Saturday and into Sunday.  Needless to say, not many pictures were taken.
We had a lot of fun on the Alpine Slide.  However, Ava may differ that it was fun!  We were unaware that only two people could ride on the chair lift up the mountain.  I rode with Molly and Mike took Rachel.  So, Ava had to ride the lift by herself.  She would have been fine with this if we had time to prepare her.  It was a last minute thing.  She was basically lifted on by a chair lift operator.  So, the ride p was kind of traumatic for her.  If that wasn't enough, she got stung by a bee at the top of the slide.  It was a memorable ride for her!


My favorite activity was the Hot Springs pool.  It was a pool but the water was the temperature of a hot tub with natural spring water.  And there were two big water slides.  We spent an entire afternoon there.  It is open year round and we are looking forward to going back in the winter!


It was the perfect weekend to go.  Right after the busy summer season ended and before the winter ski rush.  A great family getaway with great memories!
