Summer and I left town last week a few days before the Tropical Storm that was heading North West, decide to change its mind so we weren’t too worried about it. Then, it ended up switching West, running over Puerto Rico and heading on up towards Cuba, turned into Hurricane Faye and is now over Florida. We didn’t have any damage at all, as a matter of a fact, friends told me that it barely even rained here. When the storm passed Rincon, it was about 70 degrees and cloudy. Perfect for yard work or just kicking it. I even overheard someone at the Calypso the other night say that they actually had to trade in their Tank Top for a short sleeve shirt! You know it must have been cold if people are busting out their short sleeve shirts.

We went to Vail Colorado for a friends wedding. We got there on Thursday and left on Monday. It was a real pain to get to though. Listen to this:

  • Fly out of Aguadilla to Newark (3 hours 30mins)
  • 3 Hour delay in Newark
  • Fly to Denver (3 hours 10mins)
  • Rent a car, wait for rush hour traffic to be over and drive to Vail (6 hours)

We played golf one day at the Eagle Creek Golf course, took the Gondola to the top of Vail Mountain for dinner one night (at the Game Creek Restaurant), went to the Vail Jazz festival, hung out with friends and enjoyed the cool weather (it snowed one night above 10,000ft and sleeted at our condo), I cooked for 40 people on Saturday, enjoyed a great rehearsal dinner at the Cordillera Country Club and then the ceremony the following day at Cordillera Resort.

The travel time was a little brutal, once compounded with late nights and early mornings, we were REALLY looking forward to coming home and relaxing (sort of).

Check out a few of the pictures from our trip:

Ha! I feel like we took more ‘prom pictures’ than anything else. Summer has a bunch more pictures on her camera and I have a few more on my phone that I’ll upload.
