Successful trip to Beijing












Jodi and Chien were the ultimate hosts to Carol and me while we were in Beijing. Since it was a holiday we got to spend a lot of time with Chien, and it was also fun spending time with their one year old, Kai. The Great Wall, Tienamen Square, Forbidden City, Lama Temple, Temple of Heaven, shopping, and just experiencing the culture were all special and things I will never forget. I have a ton of pictures, but right now these will have to do.

Fall Family Visit

I had some business in Boulder on 9-26 and Kyle was able to take time off from his studies to join me. We were able to take a quick hike around Chautauqua Park and the Flat Irons with out hurting ourselves Friday afternoon (after all my work was done of course). Friday evening, we met up with Jack, Carol and Carol's brother Ken at the cabin. As you can imagine, the Bucksnort was hopping and we had a delicious meal, the menu has really expanded since I was there last. An old friend and former owner of the BS showed up and it was great hearing all the old stories about the colorful characters of Pine. Saturday, we headed for Kenosha Pass, took a short hike and took this picture at the top of the trail. The Aspen trees were at peak color of close to it. Kyle and I left the group here, took a winding mountain dirt road and eventually ended up in Breckenridge. Some of you (Mom) wouldn't have enjoyed the drive. We spent the night in Dillon, hiked and drove around the area and then headed back to the airport. Jack and Carol are in China so I thought I'd go ahead and post his picture.
