4 nights in Telluride

Activities and notes about our introduction to Telluride:
- The town setting is amazing with mountains all around, and a very friendly small mountain community.
- 2 bedroom condo means Rachel has her own room and she has space to move around and can explore every cupboard and drawer... luxury!
- Wed was 'donation day' on the hill so we shared a ticket for $25.  Thurs was official Opening Day and Jason skied with his old roomate Tim, who lives here.  That would be our 4th opening day this year :)
- First cross country ski of the season at 10,200 feet reminded us that pulling Rachel is harder this year, since she is much bigger than last year!  A beautiful (and free) ski.
- Lovely (free) community Thanksgiving dinner with yummy turkey and all the trimmings.
- Hiked to a beautiful waterfall that is creating a dome of ice at its base - very cool.
- Streets in town after a snowfall can be slippery, and Meggan has the bruises to prove it.
- Rachel does not like going out for drinks at 6pm because this is too close to her bedtime.
- Free transportation in town via bus or gondola to get around is fantastic.
- There are amazing houses here for sale that look like houses from 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous' - some as much as $15million dollars!  Maybe next time we could stay in their dog house?

It was a Happy Thanksgiving and we were as thankful as we always are for our lovely family, this beautiful world, our health, and the love/support/health of those around us.  Thank you!
