Breckenridge, Colorado USA 2005

A gorgeous, snowy, rocky mountain ski village in winter, we took an off season summer family trip to Breckenridge, Colorado USA in August 2005.

We rode some ski lifts just to see the mountain views. We did tourist stuff - group hummer ride up to the top of the continental divide, white water rafting and a horse trek at the base of a ski hill.  Shane and I took in a spa massage, games at a nearby pool club and bit of exploring village shopping. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Some pictures from an awesome weekend in Sydney Australia... 

We visited our friend Jonathan and his wife, kids... J took us for ribs on Sydney Harbor. We went to a mini zoo with a huge live crocodile on exhibit. We did some shopping, site seeing by ferry - saw the iconic harbour bridge, opera house and Bondi Beach, We went to a Rugby League game where NZ Warriors won! After the match, they allowed fans to go directly on to the playing field.
