Breckenridge get-away

For my birthday, Allyson wanted to have a mountain get-away this year (is that an excuse? it sounded good). She's got a time share in Breckenridge that she so graciously (thank you Ally!) shared. We gathered 6 of us together and headed north Friday afternoon.

What a refreshing, wonderful, full of laughs time we had. I think what made it better is that we had no schedule to follow, no agenda .. just time together. We spent most the weekend in our pj's (um, and funky socks) just simply hanging out laughing. Getting to know each other better .. sharing, talking, bonding.

I didn't think it was possible to laugh that much. At one point my ribs were hurting. I loved that pain.

When we arrived, we checked in and then went grocery shopping for the time we would be there. Friday night was spent in the room cooking, watching movies and playing games. Oh, and no sleep. Sat started late .. oh around 3pm we decided to get out of the room. A movie (2012 .. loooooong and INTENSE .. who chose that????? - Nadezda - ), dinner at Bubba Gumps .. then more games and laughter that night. Sunday we got up and all got massages and facials. That was the perfect note to end on.

I want to blog something in particular about this trip because it might not ever happen again. BUT while I was back in one of the bedroom alone.. I sat on the bed and looked out of the huge window at the snow falling ... almost like glitter onto the evergreens. It was peaceful .. it was a bit magical and before I knew it ... out came the words "this is beautiful". Then I said it louder so everyone could hear.


The entire weekend was beautiful. I love the friends I have made here. I am amazed at how well we all mesh .. how we all can share a piece of our own puzzles and make that fit into one. It was a treasure of a weekend .. memories were made and that's something I get to keep forever.

Thank you ..
Allyson
