Day Trip to Breckenridge

 We took a day trip up to Breck to watch the Stage 5 finish of the Pro Cycling Tour Race. Evan and and I love to watch the Tour de France and many of the top riders and teams were part of this race. The day was beautiful, including a short mountain rain shower.







We were able to watch the race on the big screen while waiting for them to get to the finish line. 





Rounding the last turn!


Here they come towards us.

We decided to ride the gondola up to the top of Breck and back



On the way home we went over the Cont'l Divide...still pinching myself - this was a day trip. Why? Because we live here!






On the way home we had a total blow out. Thankfully we felt something funny with the tire and had slowed down and were exiting when it finally blew. We called AAA but then some firemen saw us on the side of the ramp (not the safest place in the dark). They came and changed our tire for us. They were so amazingly nice.


Of course Abbie picked that exact moment to need to go to the bathroom. So we put the little "travel" potty in the front seat as the firemen just chuckled at her. She was quite proud of herself.
