Breckenridge, CO

We spent the majority of our Colorado time in Breckenridge, and were surprised by a storm that actually brought snow to the high mountain areas. It was bizarre. Not what you'd expect for a Colorado Summer. See photo of us in sandals and flip-flops in the hail. I heard someone at the rec center mumble, "gotta love life in Summit County." I also heard the saying that "People come to Breckenridge for the winters (ie ski tourism) but stay for the summers." It truly was beautiful.

Other than the storm, we had a great time in Breck, hiking, exploring the town (as if we don't already know it well), swimming at the Breckenridge Rec Center (S went down the slide by herself for the first time), hanging out with my parents, and having tea parties. We got to have dinner with my Aunt Susan and Uncle Bard one night as they happened to be in town. Jennifer and Michele, girlfriends from my old MOPS group, came up to visit us so we went for a short hike with all the kids. The Devoted Mr. Garland (Jeff) flew home to work for a week then returned for our road trip home. Here's a slew of Breck photos in no particular order...
