Breckenridge 2024: Day 1!

Hellooooooo, peeps, from our ongoing Breckenridge shenanigans on this July 4th, 2024!



Next week, when we’re finally back (for good) in San Antonio, I’ll explain more about our kind of spontaneous decision to book a return trip here, after our visit last summer for Nanna’s 70th bday.

But for now, I’ll just say that I was a little cranky as we were making our way out of town. It’s been a long month with busy schedules and life things and it was a bit daunting to travel, yet again (especially to leave Coda puppy), and deal with all that it entails to vacay with our crew of five.

But I officially feel like an ungrateful jerk for ever having thoughts in the back of my mind that I wanted to cancel our plans, because the blue skies, the mountain air, the sweater-wearing, and the happy/focused family time is wonderful.

No matter what preceded the trip or what will follow, I’m appreciative of the now.

And the now for today involved:

A classic Independence Day parade along Main Street (Little Man scored so much swag thrown from the floats!).

A gondola up the mountain to the Epic Discovery area, and then a chair lift even higher so we could experience a 1,600 foot alpine slide back down. Woohoo!

Shopping and eating. A lot. (Including some fun jewelry finds, like these pretty charm necklaces the girlies assembled for themselves.)

A Sasquatch-finding Escape Room adventure (we made it out!) that both terrified and delighted my kiddos. Apparently, one Escape Room last week for Chica’s bday and we’re now officially addicts. ;)

And now…match the pics with the activity, ‘cause I’m too tired to type more captions, ha.

More mañana, peeps!

Over and out. 



















































These are a few images form online, to give you some context of what we were doing:







And these are some of the action stills from video the hubby daringly took on his way down:
