New Home in Frisco, CO

We did it!  We closed on a new place for us in the Colorado mountains.  After 3 years of 1 bedroom condo living, we decided to move up to a 3 bedroom duplex.  Although we closed on the property Thursday, by next Thursday it will be rented through April 30 (for the ski season).  Here are some pics.

And look what it came with.

Jil and Chance and the girls came up this weekend to test drive the house.

It worked.

 

 



An Eclectic Post

I have so many pictures to post, but since we're back in Tucson I haven't spent much time online - you all know why.  In Colorado, we went to the USA Women's Soccer match vs. Australia with the Thomason family.  Some pre-game anticipation.

 I know you've seen game photos, but you can actually see the ball in the goal here!

Then Bart went to Cape Cod for SEA meetings and a little fun.

 

We left Colorado mid-October via Aspen.  It was a little snowy on the day we left.

 

Couldn't resist taking a picture of this sticker!

 



Tall Ships and San Diego

I did go to San Diego in early September, where many houses hang out over the ocean, and the Festival of Sail 2012 was going on about a half mile from the train station.  I was at the train station to ride to Santa Barbara - and had a couple of hours to spend before my departure.

Tall Ships - this one is now named "The Surprise" and was used for the movie Master and Commander, but more importantly, it used to be named "The Rose" and Chris served as a mate on it for a couple of years.  In 1996 Bart sailed on it, with Chris, from Portsmiths, England to Saint-Nazaire, France.

Some Colorado Pictures

My post are so out of sequence.  I still have tall ships photos from San Diego.  They'll be the next batch. I just couldn't resist these fall photos.  On Thursday I hiked up from "the dredge" trailhead, crossing the Colorado trail several times.  It's named the dredge for this.

Yesterday I drove up Borreas Pass for beautiful aspen pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

Borreas Pass is just south of Breckenridge and driving back through Breck I saw  a fox!  It's my second fox of the summer, but the first one with a camera handy.

Today, Sunday, Keystone had a "rail jam" just to get ready for the snow season.

 

And the mountain bikers were out as well since this is the last weekend for the mountain bike park.

Henry, this could be you!
