We were off to a great start the morning of the 26th, we got to the airport in Montgomery about 1 hour prior to take-off. THEN, I just happen to look in one of our bags and WHERE is the personal hygiene bag?? Not there…left it in Wetumpka and we are in Hope Hull (30 minutes away)! Josh is off to the races and I stayed behind. I'm so glad I wasn't with him b/c I probably would have had a heart attack. Luckily Brian met him somewhat half way, but Josh reported that he was going over 100 mph to get it! Josh got back with about 10 minutes to spare and when this little hygiene bag went through security they only had to discard my hairspray and lotion. I had several other containers that were holding more than 3 oz…uh oh!!
I had been very nervous about Colt flying b/c of the air pressure and in the past couple of days his cold has gotten worse. He was an angel though. He stayed awake just a little bit then fell right to sleep in Josh's arms…it was really weird…no fuss, nothing just peaceful sleep. Whew! First flight down! Second flight from Dallas to Denver…great! Slept almost the entire time. Whew #2!
We get to Denver to find out that the only thing available for Colt to ride in was a booster seat in the shuttle bus…very illegal very scary! Because of poor communication (on our part), the rental car that had the carseat was with everyone else at the hotel in Denver about 40 minutes away. Luckily we made it to the hotel safe and sound. Once we got to the hotel where everyone was, Colt rode in the carseat we rented in the rental car. Let me just say that Enterprise really needs to upgrade their carseats b/c this one was a piece! No base and it was very unsturdy, we ended up tightening it as much as we could by using the front passenger seat to wedge the carseat with the backseat.
Skiing was awesome and the scenery was more beautiful than I have ever seen! Here are some pictures of the slopes and mountains, but pictures don't do it justice.

We had a great time, Colt didn't seem to take too well with the change in altitude and weather AND on top of that he was cutting teeth. Yuck! The few times we did get him out he seemed to really like the snow and just being out (since he stayed cooped up on the condo for most of the time). Our condo was awesome, facing the slopes, so all we had to do was put on our skis and go. I think I busted it only once a day, so not too bad. Skiing was a lot different than Snowshoe b/c this was REAL snow. At Snowshoe they usually have to blow snow and we hit a lot of ice. It was quite refreshing and it wasn't really that cold. The first two days we had sunny skies, 3rd day was partly cloudy and the 4th it snowed all day (I didn't ski at all the 4th day).
The city of Breckenridge is just too cute for words...all the buildings were antique and so cozy. Although we did have a good time, we were definitely ready to come home! Mainly b/c Colt was having such a hard time, fussy, not sleeping at night well.

Our ride home was just like coming, he did great. Slept the entire 2 hours from Denver to Memphis and was happy as can be from Memphis to Montgomery.
Waiting to get called to fly to Memphis.

So sleepy. Look at that belly!
Once we got to Montgomery, we hopped in our car around 4:30 pm and got home at 6:30. One hour later we were at Barry and Deborah's to bring in the new year with our friends…I know…crazy!
Happy New Year!
