Tyler and I, and Megan, Colin and Jillian went on a memorable ski trip with Tom, Izzy, their two boys, and three other families. We took a motor home and Evans’s big red Suburban, and drove to Breckinridge, Colorado.
The road trip was very entertaining, with tense spouses, many card games, kids piled on a bed watching movies - and a memorable leg when five of us were in the Suburban, listening to joke after joke on the radio, then singing at the top of our lungs.
We stayed at “The Hacienda”, a gorgeous ski in/ski out house at Breckinridge: wonderful place, wonderful skiing. Ben always managed to find the ER in whatever city we skied.
Tyler and Tom teamed up as partners for Euchre, and they were unbeaten for days - until we realized they were consistently stealing the deal...
The drive home was a little frustrating for Tom, as The Masters was being broadcast on Sunday, and he was going to miss most of it.
We felt bad for him, knowing his passion for all things sports.
We went on other ski trips together, but that one was the most memorable.
