Thanksgiving in Denver

This past Thanksgiving, my lovely wife suprised me with a pair of airline tickets she acquired through her frequent flyer miles. I had already secured a hotel stay through a silent auction at my sons school so all we needed to do was place Max "our yellow lab" in club med.

If you have never been to Colorado, you must visit. The city of Denver sits 5200 feet above sea level and the mountains go up to 14,000 feet.

We flew out early Thanksgiving morning and when we touched down at the airport, we saw snow. The temperature was a brisk 27 degrees. I loved it!

I have never been skiing and by the looks of things, it may be awhile before I go. Our first day out we went to Breckenridge then over to Keystone only to witness some of the largest crowds outside of a vey busy Disney World. I couldn't believe how popular these resorts or skiing is for that matter. Now I know what all the buzz is about.

We did do some neat things like; watch a hockey game, visit red Rock Ampitheatre, Hike, go bowling and enjoy an evening at Dave and Busters. BTW... if anyone is reading, Tampa Bay needs a Dave and Busters.
We did a lot of sight seeing and came across these guys on the side of the road. Red Rock ampitheatre
