We managed to escape to Crested Butte for the 4th of July holiday this year. We have been so busy that a little bit of down time was greatly needed. Of course, down time means something different these days then it used to. I am still ironman training so I'm working out many hours each day, we still have 2 kids to look after, and Erin can never quite be rid of homework and working on her business plan. Oh, we hadn't mentioned that yet have we. More to come on Erin's business venture. Anyway (see how easily that happens, I was talking about vacation...) it was still great to get away and enjoy the beauty of the mountains in the summer.
Turns out that the town has a 4th of July run from Gothic over Mt Crested Butte down into town. It is a 1/3 marathon, and although I had done a really tough bike ride the day before, I needed to run that morning anyway, so decided to do the race. It was fun, although the amount of downhill was brutal!
Of course it wouldn't be 4th of July in Crested Butte without the kooky town parade. Always a must see.
It was time to leave way too soon of course. Sadly it looks like this may be the only trip we get to CB this summer, given busy schedules. Oh well, we certaintly did our best to make the most of it.
