A mini Vacation Finally!! Part I

Yes we did it, we attempted a small vacation with four little ones. We had a great time! This was a quick trip to Steamboat (still a 3 hour car ride :0) but we had a great time! This trip included a wonderful stay at the Steamboat Grand, Alpine slide and the ever popular with the kids, the Gondola. The Gondola is talked about constantly by Rebekah. Every elevator we get in is a Gondola to her. Here is part of the pictures as our camara battery died and we had to take the rest with a disposable one.

This trip has become annual for us (3 years) and we always find a way to go down by the river and downtown Steamboat.

Must sees at Steamboat:

1. The stinky sulfer original Hot Spring (12 different springs to check out)

2. The downtown plastic horse (located outside F.M. Light and Sons which happens to be rediculously advertised all the way to Steamboat!!!)

3. The Gondola with the inclosed cars to take you up the mountain

4. The Rio Grande Resturant with a second floor outside patio!!

5. The Steamboat Smokehouse Resturant

6. The park the lottery apparently paid for with the cute little buildings for the kids

7. The Alpine slide :) (My favorite as I have to ride it twice with Thomas and then Rebekah. Its a tough job being a dad,)

8. I suppose skiing is fun here too (kids are too small!)

9. The Steamboat Grand Hotel

More to come...
