Weekend Update: Mara and Adam's Visit



Mara and Adam MacDonald visited the Sears' winter home this last weekend. They were able to leave their two boys at home with Grandma and take four days for themselves.

We started out with drinks and dinner in Denver with a little mini-bowling thrown in. The next day we took a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park to cross-country ski. It was a new experience for all of us. Fortunately, the day was beautiful and we didn't hurt ourselves. We actually had an awesome time and an amazing workout.

Sunday, Chad, Adam and I downhill skied. Just because we hadn't had enough the day before I guess. We were very worn out by the end of the day. Mara had a great day of r and r, getting a pedicure, and having her hair done, I think she had the right idea. Monday we went to the Coors Brewery Tour in Golden, which was alot of fun. This was an action packed weekend and a great time was had by all.

Winter Park, Colorado



Chad and I moved to Winter Park, Colorado for the winter this year. We settled into our condo mid to late December. I set a goal to ski 75 days and I am getting close to my goal. Today was my fiftieth day on the slopes. I thought it would be a good day to share some photos and update everyone on our whereabouts.

Today was 44 degrees in town so the snow is already starting to melt but it's been a wonderful winter. Our condo is on the ridge in Fraser with balconies facing the Fraser River and the resort plus a number of other wonderful peaks and ridges. We've been spoiled by the seemingly unending days of sunshine pouring into the condo and keeping us happy and warm.

More to come on our Winter Park winter soon....
