5th Anniversary Weekend

Our original plans for our anniversary weekend were to go to our volleyball happy hour on Friday, ski Saturday morning and then head to Glenwood Springs for a night in the mountains.  However, a winter storm warning had us cancelling those plans.  We love our little car, but it's not made for driving in a winter storm in the mountains.  Matt's parents were in Angel Fire, NM for the weekend so they decided to make the 5-hour drive up to Denver on Friday.  They have a big Tahoe and we figured if any car could make it skiing on Saturday, it was theirs!

Friday night happy hour was a blast.  Good food, good drink, and great friends.  Can't wait for volleyball season to start back up!

Ken, Matt, and Karla got up at 5:30am on Saturday to start the drive to Keystone.  It wasn't snowing in Denver yet, but we hit snow in the foothills.  Traffic wasn't horrible (everyone was scared off by the storm warnings), but the roads were snowpacked.  There were a few moments when we weren't sure if going skiing was a good idea, but ended up making it to Keystone in 2 hours!

The skiing was great - no lines at the lifts, great powders, and Ken got in his Colorado ski trip for the year!!  The trip back to Denver wasn't bad - the worst roads were the last 10 miles, but the Tahoe managed them without a problem.

We went for dinner Saturday night at Osteria Marco on Larimer and then back home for some hotly contested games of Carbles.  (It's not a true weekend with the Gross's unless we play Carbles with Karla and Matt swearing at each other...we're not too competitive at all!)

Sunday is a chill day - which is perfectly fine with us.  Great thing to do on our anniversary!!
