This weekend we attended Oktoberfest in Breckenridge. Nine of us rented a house in Breck (hey, it's what the locals say). On Friday I worked a bit then picked up Carolyn and Dana and headed for the mountains. The drive takes 1.5 hours. We were the first to arrive. Michelle did a GREAT job finding us an awesome house!
In we go...
When you first walked in there was a little family room with a fireplace.
The window almost looks like a painting on the wall :)
Around the corner is a hallway with a bedroom, laundry room and bathroom.
Then the kitchen. It had a nice big table but I didn't get a pic of it.
Out the kitchen door to the deck
On the other side of the kitchen was another family room and a flat screen TV and the door to our bedroom with a private bath (all the bathrooms had heated floors)
I didn't take many pics upstairs but there was a bunk room, bathroom and the master suite. Here is a pic of the master bath which was open to the bedroom:
Lastly there was a sweet basement.
Just outside the basement was our hot tub which I also did not photograph.
Here is a video from the deck off the kitchen:
I didn't take anymore pics on Friday night. Michelle made us some yummy baked ziti. After dinner we got a little rowdy and the girls went dancing in town. We had a lot of fun!! And I have a chipped front tooth to prove it! WHOOPS!
The next morning we were all feeling a little "tired" but we had a yummy breakfast at the house and headed to town for Oktoberfest.
Carolyn (at 9 am) needed a little hair of the dog to get going :)
Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate much but it didn't stop our fun!
Walking to town...
A glorious chair lift bench we passed:
Our 20 pound beer steins. First cheers of the day!
Whenever the sun came out everyone yelled & cheered.
Carolyn & Meaghan have some drinking to do!
The girls:
Several people dressed in lederhosen.
Those girls must have been FREEZING!!
The juggler on stilts put on a show for us.
Here is a video of Carolyn & I you do not want to miss (my arms & shoulders are so sore!!) :
Ouch...
Some guy at his bachelor party...
Time for some food!
Christian & Eller (Lauren) gettin' after the turkey leg:
Christian diving into the Polish Sausage:
Here I am enjoying the delicious pierogies!
I was much happier after I took my first bite :)
Back to the beer...
Brent & Eller staring deep into each others eyes:
We had rain on and off all day. At one point we ducked into a bar & played some games at a big table. Just before we left we even had some hail:
A rainbow:
Here comes more rain!
I'm not as intoxicated as I look... I think Meaghan had to pull my hood back bc you couldn't see my face.
Time to go! We walked to the gondola and caught a shuttle to home sweet home. The girls went STRAIGHT to the hot tub we'd been dreaming about all day. It was a long day!
Lets just say we were all EXHAUSTED!
Sorry Meg I had to....
Pretty drive home on Rt 70:
It was a shame about the weather but overall it was a great trip!! Time for football in bed!
