Mini-Vacation

This year instead of one big trip to a new place, we have decided to take a few smaller trips. When our plans for the 4th of July needed some tweaking an we were looking at being home for yet another weekend, Bryan took to the internet to see where we could go on a quick trip.  We decided on Breckenridge, CO.  It was a great mini-vacation.

Sam is learning that with us, the road trips are endless.

Mason's new way to entertain himself on the road.  He loved going through the mountains and looking for waterfalls.  He thought the Eisenhower tunnel was pretty cool.

Some of our favorite eats for the trip were: pizza at Pizza Parlor, dessert at Rocky Mountain Cupcakes, breakfast at Cool River Coffee House.  Per our tradition, we checked out the local brewery, Breckenridge Brewery.

The Peak 8 Fun Park provided us with lots of entertainment.

Free gondola ride up the mountain.

After the looooonnnnggg line, Mason thought it was great.

We even got to see a great patriotic parade while we were there.  

We stopped in Frisco at the Dillon Reservoir.

Sam enjoyed being outside

Just a little angled, but a family picture to cap off a fun trip.

So excited about something!

We made it home in time to light of fireworks of our own at home and enjoy the fireworks around town.

Happy Independence Day!
