The first thing I saw this morning when I woke up was snow all over the place. Chain restriction were in effect for all commercial vehicles. By lunch time all was melted and the weather turned over to a nice sunny cool day.

It seemed like every little corner you turned to in the village you would see this

At the end of the day Mel and I took Tasha and Peanut out for a hike.

Today Melanie and I first thing in the morning went for a bike ride up Davo's trail. The morning was beautiful sunny sun, however turned over to some harsh hail storm in the end.

The view from the top of Davos was so sick!

At the end of the ride today we ended up riding the face of the storm home.

We just escaped the hail storm when we got back to the house.

Last night Mel and I went out with friends to Vendettas for some great Italian food
And the wine was great

When Mel and I woke up this morning we saw this. So we decided to pack up the car and head up to Strawberry Park Springs in Steamboat for some natural mineral relaxation.

The drive up to Steamboat had really beautiful countryside views.

When we got to steamboats natural springs we did not waste any time.

Melanie along steam side!

The messages were the choice of the day!

The changing rooms were very unique

Here's one of the cabins of strawberry springs you can rent

After such a great day up in SteamBoat we saw the best sunset on the drive back

Hi everybody! Sorry about the absence, I've in the starting stage of my bike training rampage. My average heart rate is on par with my great Aunt Sally's. Life here in Vail has been great! My girl friend is the best, and just about to celebrate our six month! One of my best friends Nicole just moved to Baltimore. One of my best bro Jamie will be a dad come this September. Vail village looks like crap because of all the construction. My SantaCruz bike has been in the shop for over a week now. However just about to leave for Nyc to Roc to visit friends and family, can't wait!

Yesterday Vail pretty much looked like the middle of winter again

Tasha finally got her new summer cut

That's a wrap for chair 10 for all those who loved to ride it!

Finally got my cruiser bike back from the shop installed with a brand new 3 speed internal hub!
Yes I'm still riding my single speed more than my other fancier weapons!

Watching old buildings go down and seeing new ones come up in Vail

Hanging out at Yarmony Ranch with the Cowboys and Indians

Got to finally drive a Smart car for the first time.
