Tommy goes shopping in Aspen

Tommy spent the weekend at Avalanche Ranch in celebration of Mark and Jill's first wedding anniversary. It rained. But we still had fun :) We stayed in an adorable little cabin with a sleeping loft and a tiny kitchen. We played ping pong while it rained, watched part of O, Brother Where Art Thou, and played a game of Trivial Pursuit. Tommy caught the ping pong ball for us whenever we dropped it. Tommy really enjoyed playing with Ruby, a 6 month old yellow lab. Ruby was nice enough to let Tommy win every now and then :) Tommy also enjoyed the Apple Festival where he watched Mark and Jill eats lots of food and listen to bluegrass.


On Sunday, Tommy went Oddball Colorado hunting again. This time he went in search of oddities in Glenwood Springs and Aspen. He found the Hotel Colorado where the teddy bear was invented, the world's largest hot springs pool, Doc Holliday's grave stone and Ted Bundy's first and second Colorado prison escapes.


Then, Tommy went shopping in Aspen. He found a very fun soft frisbee that squeaks and a $60.00 sweater. Yes, Tommy bought a $60.00 sweater. But he looks very distinguished in his sweater...much like Sherlock Holmes. Now we just need to find Tommy a Holmes hat and a pipe and he'll be solving mysteries up and down the Front Range.





The sweater came in very handy as we decided to take Independence Pass home. It was 32 degrees and snowing at the top of the pass. While we were not dressed for such weather, Tommy was.
