Vacation Part 1

This past Friday Doug took a vacation day and we headed out of the city. Our anniversary came and went on August 9th with no celebration, so we decided to get away, all 4 of us. We didn't go far. We went about 45 minutes out of the city to a small ranch style motel with a heated indoor pool. We had planned to go skiing on Friday before heading to the ranch, but the small ski "resort" where we were thinking about going, had very little snow and we were pressed for time on Friday to get out of the house in time to make it a worthwhile ski day. We left early afternoon on Friday to drive up to at least see the ski "resort" and enjoy the views.

After enjoying the MANY switchbacks to get up and back down the 8000 ft. above sealevel, we headed to our ranch motel.
