Breckenridge, Colorado

A relaxing yet fun-filled Labour Day weekend in Colorado. We drove to Breckenridge from Denver, thanks to JJ's brother's Subaru Forester. We went through Loveland Pass and got to stand on the Continental Divide, where the precipitation will drain into the Atlantic or the Pacific depending on which side of the Divide it falls on. We saw some Bighorn Sheep along the highway and got to climb to over 12,000 feet (up Peak 8 of Breckenridge Ski Resort). We ate some amazing meals: unlimited riblets at Applebee's; duck breast and pork medallions (extreme!) at Top of the World restaurant; surprisingly good Bubba Gump shrimp; and ended the trip with a whole lotta pho. Had an awesome weekend even though we didn't end up whitewater rafting. It was so much fun; thanks honey :)
