Colorado Road trip

My sister Katti was here to visit from Feb 14 - 25. It was so great to see her and spend time with her. Matt and I took the whole week off and we had this crazy road trip planned. We started our trip on Friday night when we went to Angola, Indiana to visit Niclas & Autumn and then on Sunday we drove all day to Rapid City. We drove threw all sorts of horrible driving weather: ice, rain, snow and winds but we made it there ok after 19 hours. We did stop fro a short visit at our Friend Amee VO in Souix city. Monday we did get to see the Mouth Rushmore and it was really beautiful drive. I would say that it is worth the extra 6 hours since I always wanted to see it. Then we headed for Denver and on Tuesday we drove up to the mountains and went to a place to cross country ski called sunlight mountain. Yes, they had sun light but that was about it. The equipment was ancient and the trails were horrible so we tried to be a good sport for about an 1 1/2 and after many falls on the skies we gave up and went back to the hot springs hotel where we stayed. Wednesday was spent skiing in Snowmass and I really loved that place!! Awesome runs and lots of snow. Thursday we skied in Vail and we made it over to the backbowls but we kept it easy. Friday we started our endless drive back to Chicago. So we spent about 10 days on the road with Matt and Katti and I loved it and wouldn't want to have spent it with anyone else.
