First day family ski vacation 11 March

Murray and myself left home at 0330 Friday morning and arrived in Denver 0500 Sat. 27 hours to drive 1584 miles and average 21 miles to the gallon. Diesel prices were $3.75 to $4.02 with $ 3.89 being the most common. Murray and myself drove straight through and picked Judith, Jana and Cody up at 1000 Sat morning, then on to the Air Force Base in Denver to stock up before driving the final 100 miles to Breckenridge. Travis and his family drove from home (Fort Worth) 830 miles and arrived at the condo about 1400. We arrived about 1530 and the unloading began, (a major task)


Judith and Tyler go for a walk before they can start work, still lots of snow on the ground and suppose to snow tonight (11 March)
The Whittingtons may do a lot of nutty things but we eat well, I thought we had ENOUGH FOOD brought from home but we had to go grocery shopping and here's the result, we brought everything but the kitchen sink

Judith and Connor, (Travis and Patty's youngest)


Cody travels in style, he has his own music, own snacks and two women to wait on him. But he is not spoiled!



Travis and Murray relaxing after the long drive.




Chandler (on the couch) and Tyler sit up the TV and DVD system.





Cody and Jana after the first meal, full and ready.






Patty cooked the first meal, I think we will keep her. What a meal for ten people! and after spending 14 hours in the car with the family, she did not even have to take a break to scream or pull her hair out, what A WOMAN.


a SHOT FROM THE BALCONY, heated pool is in the background, its going to be a great week, its snowing now and tomorrow the temp is suppose to be 15-39 degrees, should be nice.
