Rather than bore you with the details, I now present to you: 

15 things I did on my Colorado Vacation

#1.  Was greeted at the airport by my very tall friend (hi, Tara!) with a sign that was nearly as tall I am:

#2.  Had a lot of fun with a rocking pig:

#3.  Had my picture taken in the bathroom of a very nice restaurant (but the flowers are so purdy!):

#4.  Mixed altitude with alcohol.  You do not get any pictures of this.

#5.  Went shopping for bras and underwear.  Also, sadly, no pictures.

#6.  Drove to Vail on what could not have been a more beautiful day:

#7.  Experienced a pedicure that has left my left big toe in severe pain.  Never before have I paid good money for someone to inflict harm on me one minute and leave me in hysterics the next (my feet are oh-so-ticklish!):

#8.  Had an awesome server at Sweet Basil (Ben!) who kinda sorta reminds me of Chris Daughtry:

#9.  Woke up in Vail to a dumping of snow!:

#10.  Took a ton of pictures (many from the heated passenger seat!):

#11.  Did NOT wreck the car on the drive back home (it did not look like there were any injuries, otherwise I would not have pretended to be the accident investigator):

#12.  Escaped a near-attack by the local bull elk:

#13.  Had to say goodbye to my lovely friend.  Until next time, Tara!

#14.  Caught this glimpse of four volcanoes before descending into Seattle (Mt. Rainier in foreground, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens from left to right in background):

#15.  Experienced one last bit of sunshine before dropping into the Seattle grey:

And that is all.
The end.

Okay, you are way better then me at actually taking pictures. Hooray for your vacation. The snow looks so pretty. I'd much rather look at it then have to be out in it!!

Welcome home!

I followed a link from Isabel -- I can usually trust her to lead me to good things.

Those are some great pictures! I especially like the 4 volcanoes, as that's not something you see every day (or ever) in Colorado.

What were you doing to the pig?

It looks like you had a great time. You running from the bull elk made me laugh out loud. The pictures from the plane are amazing.
