Beaver Creek, Colorado

This post is a little late, but I wanted to post pics from our ski trip out to Colorado. Mitchell and I went with his parents, and it was one of the best vacations I have been on. It is was so pretty and relaxing! The first day of skiing I took lessons since it was my first ski trip. Mitchell and I agreed that it would be well worth the $175.00 to have someone else teach me in order to spare our marriage (something about him teaching me just didn't sound amusing--not even just a little bit). I spent the day with my Bolivian instructor, Valentino who couldn't not say Alyssa so proceeded to call me sweetie/sweetheart all day. I picked up the whole skiing thing pretty quick and didn't even fall the first day! I was so excited to show off my skills to Mitchell and his parents the next day. I did fall a few times but did pretty good. The views on the top of the mountain were breathtaking. There was nothing better than being up at the top looking out for miles and miles....then its gone in an instance after you see what you have to ski down to get back to the bottom for a cold beer or cup of hot chocolate (I chose a beer most of the time). By the third day, Mitchell and his Dad talked me into going down a huge blue slope (FYI...greens are what I prefer since I am a beginner). I had some not so nice feelings about those two on my way down, but they were both very encouraging and patient w/ me. I was so proud of myself to get to the bottom and look up to see what I had gone down. We ate at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant, Spago's one night and it was yummmmy! Mitchell is convinced we will move to Colorado one day. He absolutely loves it out there. FYI, I have the best inlaws in the world and we truly had a great time with them.
