  6. I just stumbled on your blog and loved seeing Breckenridge on your list. It has been my home for a decade or so and - while most think of it as a winter destination - it sure is a fabulous place to visit in the summertime, especially if you're trying to escape the heat. I'm enjoying the cool Colorado air on my front porch right now!

  7. Oh Susie, we've skied there in younger years; but later we camped and hiked there in the summer. Last year we returned and had a fabulous time. We tried to get a condo there this summer again, but the dates available didn't mesh well with my DD and DH's schedules. So, we're going to Park City. We all were disappointed as we wanted to return to Breckenridge.
