This past weekend, for my mom's birthday, my parents came out to visit! We had a fantastic time. First, we took them to our favorite Denver restaurant, Osteria Marco. It's a great place that's all about hanging out, sipping on wine, and enjoying small but amazingly tasty plates. On Saturday we woke up early to go skiing at Copper Mountain. The traffic was horrible! I got so carsick and had to trade seats with my dad :/. It was worth it, though, for a great day on the mountain. Here are a few pics of us happy skiers:
I think my parents are cute. We stayed the night in a condo right at the base of the mountain. If the snow had been any good, Travis and I probably would have gotten a run or two in on Sunday morning, but we aren't having a fantastic ski season as far as snow goes. In fact, it's pretty bad; it all keeps going to the south of us! Sunday morning we stopped for breakfast at the Butterhorn Bakery in Frisco (love their whole wheat pancakes!!). A picture of Frisco is below.
My dad slept when we got home as my mom and I were organizing the study. Wyatt monitored our progress from a safe location.
Sunday night a few of our good friends came over for dinner and to hang out with my parents. On Monday I brought them to campus for a tour of my lab and lunch with my advisor. Overall I couldn't have asked for a better few days with my parents!!!
