Tuesday morning we headed for Denver Rocky Mountains . The highest pass was at 11,115 ft and the van made it (barely)! We passed through some very cute towns and LOTS of snow. Our favorite was a town called Frisco where we stopped for coffee. It is the gateway town to Breckenridge Mountain Truckee . The Giants played the Rockies at 1:10 in the afternoon and we got to the stadium with plenty of time to purchase tickets… good ones at that: 18th row up from 3rd base. The Giants didn’t come out with a win, but it was a great game non the less and we totally enjoyed seeing a game at Coors Field. After the game we met up with a friend and customer of Kyle’s, Brad Jester, at his house and met his wife, Christa and his daughter, Ella. Kyle talked to Brad every day while working at Earthbound, but they had never met in person before, yet Brad and Christa were not only totally cool, but fed us, gave us booz, and offered to let us stay in their guest room (luxury!). We totally hit it off with them and by the end of the night we felt like old friends. We were so appreciative of the hospitality.

The snow! Lots of it!
