Score For Today = +204

Our fearless and wonderful drive J took us over to Breckenridge today.  Beautiful day!   We headed out for a walk down the main street and took in a little shopping and kept going down to the end of the strip to stop for lunch at Breckenridge Brewpub.  We were planning on eating there and then going on a gondola ride after I got oiled.

Um, shitheads?  If you are going to be randomly closed, put it on the goddamn website!  There was a stupid sign that said to head over to two other places to have their beer.  Score?  -2.

We went to one of those places, and it sucked.  The menu was scary, the beer list was crap, so we each had a drink and decided to go somewhere else for lunch.  Score?  -1.

As we headed over to have lunch at Kenosha we stopped to take this picture.  As we were all chatting, mumbling, babbling, J said, very quietly, "Is that a distillery?"  We all stopped talking immediately and turned to look.  And yes it was.  I lept up in the air and we went over.  Had vodka and bourbon tasters and made a drunken impulse buy of, quite frankly, more alcohol than we will drink in the next year.  Score?  +2


We then had lunch - it was good, and after another beer I had the guys to do the gondola ride, and guess what?  CLOSED.  Score?  -1.  (I could go with a +1 here if it didn't make me look like a total wuss.)

We then headed back home, through Frisco and stopped to get crickets for SJ's gecko Stanley.  She asked me last night if I wanted to hold him - she was so cute and excited - and I looked right at her and said, "ABSOLUTELY NOT.  I am just fine looking at him through the plastic cage."  She just shook her head, and in that 9, going on 29 way she has, just said, "Oh, Patty..."  But I digress.  Took a nap in the car on the way back.  Score? +1.

We then decided to stop in Vail to do a little shopping.  We pulled into the parking ramp and we set the alarm on my phone for 10 minutes, and all four of us took a nap in the car.  Score?  +5

In Vail at Colorado Footwear where I tried on these KICK ASS boots that they owner designs and they are made in Spain.  They are just over the ankle and have old school ski buckles.  They were awesome.  Comfy, warm, I would look fantastic in them.  Put them on hold and just making sure I wasn't making another couple hundred dollar impulse buy.  Score?  0.  (Will be a +5 if I decide to buy them. Here is another picture of J and Chris after they had enough of watching me and N try on shoes.)


We then came home...

Spent another fantastic day with great friends.  Score?  +200!!
