Birthday weekend in Vail/Minturn

For my birthday Ben took me away for the weekend to Vail and Minturn! We left early on Saturday the 21st (my actual birthday) and headed to The Sonnenalp Resort in Vail for their awesome brunch. After eating we sat in front of their huge fire place and read books, played a little chess and then walked around Vail on a beautiful mountain morning and then drove around looking at the enormous houses. We checked in at our Bed and Breakfast and I took the best nap ever (as you can see in the picture following)!


Then we headed out for birthday dinner! The weather looked a little yucky, but nothing prepared us for what was in store...


A spring snow storm!

we found some hot drinks and headed back to our room for some cards and just plain old relaxing...alone!!!!!!!


The next morning was foggy and cold, then the clouds lifted and the mountains were just beautiful...Ben went out to capture some of the beauty while I stayed back and soaked in the big tub...AAAHHHHHHH!


This one reminds me of the movie 'A River Runs Through It'


Ben is so good at detailed photos!
