Cross Country Ski – Frisco Nordic Center
December 18th, 2010
On Saturday, Kelly, Mike, and I ventured up into the mountains to take advantage of the fresh powder. We left the Wooly Mammoth Park N Ride at 6:45am, a little on the late side (my bad!). There was an accident, so we didn’t make it to Frisco until nearly 8:30am.
We stopped at the Butterhorn Bakery for a most excellent breakfast. Yum! Kelly was excited as it would be her first day of nordic skiing.
Later, at the Frisco Nordic Center, we geared up for a wonderful day of cross country. Kelly did fabulous and Mike did a great job of coaching technique. We went ~7 miles before we all decided to call it a day! For more pictures: Read the rest of this entry »

After many years of searching, my friend Rachel finally met the ONE! SO, I flew to Las Vegas to be with her during her Bridal Shower Weekend Extravaganza. There was very little we *didn’t* do that weekend. We did, however, skip out on the typical drinking activities and trashy strip joints. Read the rest of this entry »
