Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore.

Dream.

Discover.

Toni and Gloria...





This weekend Nick's Aunt Toni and her cousin Gloria came to visit.



They drove up from Las Cruces and Alburquerque New Mexico on Thursday and arrived in Crested Butte on Friday morning. We had a great weekend pretty much hanging out...although we managed to get one of Toni's favourite
activities in - shoe shopping! Love that pink winkle picker...!




















We also managed to get some bar-hopping in...here we are at the bar in the Wooden Nickel on Elk Avenue in Crested Butte for Happy Hour on Friday afternoon!

















...as well as some sight seeing....Sat afternoon we drove up to Scholfield Pass and saw some of the Aspen turning and some great views of the back ranges...











...Saturday night turned into margarita and tequila night...which meant that we didn't get to Lake City as intended on Sunday! The weather wasn't great either though, so we decided to stay home and watch some football...the weather worsened during the day and by evening we had full on torrential rain...too bad for sightseeing but a good excuse for curling up on the sofa!!!



Here are Nick and Toni near Gothic on Saturday afternoon...



All in all, a great time was had by all...and we certainly appreciate all the Hatch Chile and tequila they brought us!!! Now we just have to go visit Gloria and Bob in Albuquerque next time we head down to Las Cruces so we can take back the bottle of Herradura tequila Gloria left and drink it with them and Toni! Salud!!!
