Monday, March 16

We split up today to do our own things. Thom and Drew hit up the mountain again. I think they both enjoyed it much more considering they weren't babysitting me and having to go incredibly slow.  At approximately 10:00 when I contacted Thom they had already been down 12 runs. That is much more than we could do yesterday! Drew wore his GoPro the entire time so he has some awesome video footage of the day.

Mom, Dad, Manny and I started our day going to the downtown area of Steamboat Springs. The downtown area is approximately 5-6 blocks long.  They have all sorts of shops.  Book stores, sheep skin stores, outdoorsy stores, souvenir stores, cooking stores, all sorts of stores! Dad got a new pair of shoes, Mom got a bracelet, and I got a cool Roald Dahl book. The book store that we stopped in was by far my favorite. It was a locally owned and had a little coffee shop inside. It was very cute.

After our trip downtown Mom, Dad, and I took a walk on a bike path. Steamboat Springs is covered in bike paths. The route we took went right next to a little creek. It was beautiful. It was surreal because we were walking in t-shirts and shorts, but were surrounded by snow.

Then we went to the grocery store to get things for dinner (chicken and biscuits).

After the grocery store we went down to the base of the gondola. That is a very fun place to be. We all enjoyed sitting, people watching, sipping on a drink, and listening to live music. It was Dad's highlight of the trip.

After meeting up with Drew and Thom we went back to the condo for dinner.
