Dwight, Sharon and Kirk headed for Dillon, Breckenridge and Fairplay, Colorado on Friday & Saturday. We left Denver Friday night around 8:30pm and battled a blinding snowstorm, taking 2 hours to get to Dillon (normally an hour drive), and were relieved to get to our hotel! Saturday morning we headed for the Starbucks in Frasier, then a leisurely drive to Breckenridge, and over Hoosier Pass to Fairplay. Lunchtime found us at the Bucksnort Saloon, south of Shaffer's Crossing - a must-have experience for every Coloradoan! It was a cloudy day and actually a little early for the fall colors, but we enjoyed the time away! Kirk couldn't quite figure out what we were doing, but he travels well and loves going wherever we go. We used our time in the car to listen to a book on CD, "Marley and Me" about a yellow Lab and his family. If you have a chance to read or hear this book, and you're a dog lover, you should take the opportunity. You will laugh and cry! We only got about half way through the book and hope to finish it next Saturday when we head to Estes Park to look for colors once again!
