So at the end of Jan. Brian and I took our first Mommy/Daddy trip and left Belle in the capable hands of our family! We left Thursday and were supposed to come back on Monday...key word being
supposed to! Haha...we ended up missing Belle too much and came home on Sunday! :) Yep, we're those parents! The trip was sooooo fun though. It was nice to get away, and Telluride is indescribably beautiful. Seriously, pictures just don't do it justice.
We stayed at this amazing place with suites and condos called Mountain Lodge. It's in Mountain Village, which is in a valley between the mountains. Basically on the other side of the mountain from Telluride, it literally butted up to the slopes. It was ski in/ski out, so we just grabbed our boards in the morning and walked out our suite ONTO the slopes. It was absolutely amazing! However I, on the other hand, was NOT even close to amazing, in terms of my snowboarding skills! Haha...I was not exactly a quick learner and poor Brian was stuck trying to teach me. I felt bad for him having to wait FOREVER for me, I told him to go ahead, and he would do 2 runs to my one mostly! haha...
But it was so nice, we could ski to our place for lunch, regroup, change shirts and socks (me, cause I was soaked from falling so much), and then hit the slopes again. We went to Allred's (a popular restaurant just off the ski lift where celebs are frequently spotted, no JT and Jessica though) and watched the moon rise over the mountains. So beautiful! All though all the beauty in the world couldn't change the fact that we missed our munchkin!! It seemed like everywhere we looked there were kiddos!! We even found out after the fact, that they have daycare there and we every day we'd see about 20 little kids all decked out in their snow gear playing in the snow. The cutest thing ever.
We missed her so much (and since everything seemed to break in our house while we were gone :) Though through no fault of our fam), we cut out trip a day short, and decided for now 3 days is our limit on how long we can last without her :) We've come up with a plan to double up with friends on the next trip, so we can bring our kiddos and take turns skiing! And now we have a free night for next year since we left early, and we want to try and make it a quasi-annual thing if we can. So that was our trip...I DEFINITELY recommend Telluride to anyone going skiing. It's is absolutely amazing, from the lifts Brian and I would pick out our imaginary winter homes...and trying to guess which one was Tom and Katie's of course!
