Breckenridge - US Olympic training center

It's been a fun 3 days - we haven't had a lot of down time besides sleeping, and Internet is spotty. I was able to download an app to make blogging easier from my phone. Where was this 3 years ago :)

Right now we are on our way to Memphis, TN with a stop in Oklahoma City, OK for dinner. It's gonna be a long day/night.

After vail we checked into our hotel for the which had a spa and was so needed after a day of skiing.

Breckenridge ski resort was amazing - we had a blast skiing the mountain from one side to the other .... I stopped during the day to take breaks while Chris played on the black diamond run's. Driving thru the Colorado Rocky Mountains are amazing the views are so pretty and I can't believe we were so high in elevation. We drove through the Eisenhower/Johnson tunnel which took us about 1 1/2 minutes to drive it.
We stopped in Denver for dinner and continued our way to Colorado Springs. Sleeping in the bus this trip has been different - it's been COLD ..... Driving the middle states in April, I didn't realize how much colder it would be than the boarder states 3 years ago.

Walmart parking lot was our home for the night in Colorado Springs. I didn't realize how big the city was. The US Olympic training center was fun to see where hopeful and current Olympians train. After the training center we went to the IAFF firefighter memorial. Last fall, Chris lost a friend from butte county and in September his name will be honored on the wall and we wanted to see where his name would go. It's a pretty emotional site to see so many firefighter names up on the wall.

During the drive to dodge city, ks we realized we lost another hour and are now in central time zone. We just got into Memphis and am calling it a night ... Hopefully tomorrow il get to write about dodge city :)
