Similar to last year’s visit, after I finished the theater portion of my mini-vacation, I went up into the mountains for a day. I again took the road along the foothills from Boulder to Golden, then up to the mountains. I again visited Breckenridge. This time I took the gondola up the mountain. They have done a lot of development since last I skied here. There were lots of residences up the hill, and there were a number of activities at the top of the peak to engage summertime visitors. I had a nice lunch in Breckenridge, a relaxing afternoon, and a nice dinner in Frisco. The only downside of my time up there is that I wasn’t feeling great, which I attribute to not being acclimated to the altitude.
My last day, after taking some pictures around lake Dillon, I headed down to Denver, stopping at some scenic overlooks and Georgetown along the way. While in Denver I drove by the old homestead, and stopped by to check on the parents markers. All-in-all a nice, albeit brief, vacation.
