We made it!
Check out our mountain digs.
Not too shabby, right? 
We landed in Denver around 10:00am local time which was 12:00pm eastern time. We were all starving – having not eaten anything since our 6:00am eastern time breakfasts – and grabbed some sandwiches for lunch.
I grabbed a veggie to go and it was pretty tasty.
I enjoyed my sandwich while the boys did a great job collecting all the luggage.
Thanks boys!
It was 13 degrees when we landed! I had to perform a quick change before braving the cold weather.
On our way in to the mountains we stopped at Red Rock Canyons since none of my siblings had never been. (You can read about my last visit here)
It was cooolllddd. Brrrr….
This is Derek’s first time in Colorado! He was very excited to be here. 
My brother’s never got the memo to change their shoes at the airport and were still sportin’ their flip flops. True Florida boys til the very end.
Back in the car I had the second part of my lunch: a bag of potato chips.
Them promptly passed out for the 1.5 hour drive to our cabin.
(I discovered this photo when I plugged my card in. LOL)
We finally made it!
My Mom found our cabin on the site Vacation Rentals By Owner ( www.vrbo.com ). Its a site my old boss turned me on to a couple of years ago and its a site I have been obsessed with every since. If you are looking to go on vacation for the cheap I suggest you give it a shot.
All rentals are done through the actual owner of the cabin/condo/etc and since you are dodging a lot of extra fees the rental agencies tag on they are usually relatively cheaper as well.
We scored a 4 bedroom cabin that can sleep 12 for about half the price of other places we were looking at.
Plus we got a hot tub and a killer view.
I built up quite an appetite unloading all the luggage and grabbed this apple ginger spice Honest Foods Bar I had been sent a while back.
The apple ginger spice flavor was very blah. I ate half before tossing the rest in the trash.
We all piled back in the car to collect our ski rentals.
My parent each have their own skis, but the rest of us require rentals for the week.
I always love watching people trying to spell my name out.
One ski has “Mehann” and the other says “Maghann”
I don’t know how many of you have tried hitting the City Market in Breckenridge around 4:00pm, but its INSANE! We spent over an hour in the store trying to figure out meals for 7 people for 7 days.
My Sister and I broke into some mixed dried fruit in the check out lane.
And the seven of us devoured an entire loaf of french bread on the way back to the cabin. (no photo)
Tacos were on the menu for dinner.
In a whole wheat tortilla I had refried beans, ground beef, avocado, tomato, lettuce & cheese.
All rolled up and ready to eat
I believe everyone enjoyed their burritos
Kelly was right when she said no one was safe from the blog.
I ended the evening with a nice cup of hot chocolate
and a gingerbread cookie I had smuggled from home
What a day!
Time for bed. I have an early wake up call in the morning then its time for the slopes!
Good Night!!
