The Labor Day vacation is finished, we’re home again, and we’re back to the normal hectic. We actually came home a day early. By Monday mid-day we’d done everything we really wanted to do in that area and found that what we would do the rest of the day and evening were the same things we’d be doing at home. So, we packed up in the late afternoon and headed home. Even though it was Labor Day, we had an easy drive home with relatively little traffic. We were home about 5:30. Beckenridge is only about two and a half hours away. A whole different world is only that far away. We’ve decided to look around to see what other opportunities might be within a 150 minute drive.

Church on Sunday at the Frisco Ward was very interesting. The Sacrament Meeting was given to the young men and women of the Ward who had attended Especially for Youth or The Best of Especially for Youth. It was a very good meeting. Later we learned that they had record attendance at Sacrament Meeting — 258 people. Most of them were visitors and most of them left after Sacrament Meeting! We stayed for the full block and didn’t even have to change seats. Sunday School was in the Chapel followed by joint Relief Society and Priesthood, also in the Chapel. After Church and lunch we drove around Dillon Lake and around the area. We checked out the State Forest campgrounds, some of which are very primitive and others were better appointed. At any rate, they would have been more interesting than the resort we were staying at! Being able to have a fire would have been a real treat.

Monday morning we rode the bikes up to Breckenridge and back. It was a little over four miles up which took about 33 minutes. The ride back was much faster — 16 minutes! I thoroughly enjoyed the ride, even though I was also thoroughly tired when we got back to the camper. We then drove down to Copper Mountain to see what that resort looked like. The bicycle trails go all the way to Vail. It would be a lovely ride down, a heck of a ride back up (at least in my current physical condition).

Being home a day early made it possible to get a whole bunch of things done on Tuesday. We were able to thoroughly clean the camper, winterize it, and put it away in the storage yard. We got the Suburban an emission test so I can finish the registration, had the oil changed in the Camry, and ran a number of errands. We wrapped up the short holiday by having dinner together with our good friends, Bobby and Duane.

But, now we’re back home and back to normal. It was a very busy day at work and I need to be down to the chapel in 10 minutes for a PPI with the Bishop. Things could certainly slow back down again!
