So on the day we're supposed to travel back home to NY, Colorado gets hit by the worst blizzard in a couple of years. Wonderful. Our and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anachronaut's flights were cancelled.
The first direct flight out to La Guardia isn't until Sunday, so we're going via San Francisco and to JFK instead, because that will at least leave on Friday and get us home late Friday night/early Saturday morning. Friday is also the last day we can stay at the condo, because the Christmas renters will arrive some time that afternoon.
Today we're vegging with Kit whose mother's condo we're staying at. Tomorrow we might go rent skis again, drop Dashiell off at the resort daycare, get everyone hooked up with new lift passes, and enjoy the 1 foot+ of snow that we're supposed to be able to get today.
And hopefully by Friday everyone will be on their way to their final destinations.
Other than that we've been having a great time. The condo is a few minutes walk from the ski lifts, and we've had lovely weather. Breckenridge is a really cute and quaint town, with its Victorian/Western facades, and in the evenings with the lights on it looks like Christmas town or something. We took 3 days of classes, and then had 3 days of free skiing. PreZ even attempted a black diamond slope yesterday... not realising until he was on it that it was a mogul slope, lol. He had Kit with him though, who's been skiing black slopes since not too long after he was out of diapers, so plenty of expert advice. I went down the blue-black slope that ran parallel... and seeing as I'd been doing easy blues, that was a challenge and a half mind you. I'll add that last week Thursday was the first time PreZ ever stood on a pair of skis, and it was the first time I'd been on skis in 13 years (and that was the first and only time I'd ever gone skiing).
Dashiell threw a bit of a spanner in the works by teething and having altitude problems, so the first 2 days he ran a high fever (103.6F at one point) and we had to keep him home from daycare. Thankfully Kit's mother could watch him Thursday and Friday afternoon, so I only missed our Friday morning class. We kept him home again Tuesday morning when his fever came back and he was super grouchy with the teething again. But he's been a real trooper and the daycare ladies love him, of course :)
