Tu-woohoo-bing

We decided to combine Emma's & my birthday celebrations this year by taking a quick pre-Christmas overnight trip to Vail for some tubing, pizza, snowflakes and gelato. (Not to worry...Emma entertained herself on the long drive by texting incessantly-haha).

Anyway, we were a little worried about rumored heavy snow (the news called it "epic") and treacherous road conditions in the high country but it turned out all that hype was just a very a clever marketing trick by the ski resorts...we had dry highway the whole way and only a couple of hours of falling flakes (while we were tubing) the whole trip. Vail was decorated beautifully for Christmas and it was nice to get away and play in the snow!

seriously...who had to decorate that tree!

The tubing lift--not easy when your tube is as big as you are!

Apres-tube hot tub adventure (outdoor hot tub at the hotel--the tricky part is getting in and out without turning into a popsicle!)

yes-that little dot above them is the moon
