We were both elated when our friends invited us for an overnight stay in Breckenridge. Breckenridge is only a short 1.5 hours away from Colorado Springs, how could we resist this offer? It was short, but still a much appreciated break. Nails, sushi, brunch - Yardsale stop in Alma at the Montessori school there where we scored 2 brandnew ski boots for me and our daughter Anna. Sounds like a perfect weekend to me?! On top of that I received a phonecall from another Realtor, that her clients liked my listing and that she would write up an offer today. Not bad. Worked so hard last week, I deserved it, I 'd like to add. :-) Originally Posted: http://www.tellyouaboutit.com/2013/07/24-hrs-in-breckenridge.html 10/25/2013

  Our friends invited us to join them in their weekend get-away to Breckenridge. We stayed at the Great Timber Lodge. While Brittany and I had our nails done (definitely NOT the best $50 bucks ever spent), the husbands took the dirt bikes to try and reach the peak before the rain set in that was predicted for this weekend. They didn't make it AND they got wet.  :-) Around 7pm we decided that we needed to have sushi for dinner. Mountain Flying Sushi did not disappoint. The fish was tender, the sushi rolls fabulous and the service good. After last night's sushi feast ( yes, feast!!!) , I really didn't think I'd eat for another week. However, that lasted until about 10 am this morning and , Tim and I ended up at Clint's coffee house and bakery, since the famous Columbine Cafe had a 30 minu... 10/17/2013

The last weekend in June we spent in Breckenridge. On our way 'out' we stopped at a trailhead that we had heard about from other folks. It was quite rainy, we were tight on time and my friend wore flipflops so we decided to drive up the road instead of hiking the trail.McCullough Gulch Trail  lies in the shadow of 14er Quandary Peak. You can take the car up the dirt road or you can "do the work" and take the trail. The trail climbs 1600 feet in 2 miles along a stream with several waterfalls and ends up at a tarn above treeline. The scenery is breathtaking.  Make sure you dress in layers, have enough water with you and lots of sunscreen. You'll need it all! At the upper lake reservoir we have seen some tents, so I simply assume that at the westend of the bottom lake you are permitted to ... 10/17/2013
