I took the boys to Aspen to see my dear friends Barabara and Jonathan. Aspen is gorgeous and our accommodations at The Gant were superb. Our condo was unexpectedly upgraded, so the boys ended up with three 40" plasma tvs. The condo was remarkable. The boys begged to bring their featherbed enhanced queen beds home; I took notes on the kitchen and bathroom designs; the balcony looked out to the mountains and down to the saline pool....Aspen style. Though we were mostly there to see our friends, we got a good taste of the town. We hiked the Ute trail, biked down the Rio Grande on a scenic 8 mile path, found natural hot springs in Carbondale, and the boys hunted for snakes by the creek and even found some. Somehow we managed to leave Aspen with nothing new in our pockets. I still can't believe it!
