Day 212 - Bluegrass Festival & Outlets

Today was our first full day in Breckenridge, and it was beautiful! We relocated from the location we stayed for the reunion to a gorgeous, large home just a couple of blocks from downtown Breckenridge that was big enough to comfortably accommodate all of us (10 adults and 6 kids).

This afternoon we decided to head to the base of the Keystone ski area to check out the Blue Grass & Beer Festival. It was a fun event and although I am not a huge fan of blue grass and can't enjoy a beer these days, there was plenty to see and eat :) There were several stages around the festival, so no matter what path you would walk along the hum of music was always near by.

For lunch we had philly cheese-steak sandwiches and quesadillas

We spent about an hour or 2 walking around enjoying the sites & sounds and it was a neat experience

Later in the day as we were heading back towards Breckenridge we decided to stop off for a very quick hike and scenic view. (Quinn ran a head to scope out how far we had to go, ha ha!)

It was absolutely beautiful. There were many sail boats that sprinkled the lake below and the mountain scenery all around was breath taking.






Other Firsts: Later in the afternoon it started to rain, so we decided that would be the perfect time to head over to the outlets. One stop I had to make while we were there was to the Le Creuset store. Quinn and I received a few of these gourmet cookware items as wedding gifts, but there have been a few pieces I have still had on my wish list including this large stock pot & grill skillet


Since I was in no position to buy new clothes (with my growing belly) and because the sale was just so good (25% off the outlet price of the stock pot and 40% off the sale price of the skillet)I got both! Both for just over $100 (normally these 2 would of cost well over $200). Did I mention they have a lifetime warranty, let's get cooking!
