Day 30: Happy Anniversary to us!

Today was our wedding anniversary!  24 years ago today,  we were married in Telluride Colorado (we were living in Germany at the time, and Telluride sounded like as good a place as any to get hitched!).   It turned out,  that was the day the space shuttle Challenger exploded in the skies above Florida;  not an auspicious start to our special day, to be sure.   We paid our respects to America's fallen heroes and made the best of it.


Now, 24 years later we are back in the Colorado Rockies,  enjoying a fine winter's day.  After work,  we went cross country skiing in the neighborhood.  The day kept became warm and clear,  and our smiles tell the tale of a good workout in the most beautiful of settings.

Then to celebrate our 24 year love affair,  we went to dine at the Keystone Ranch, whose reputation as the finest restaurant in the Colorado is well deserved!  The food and service were exceptional (as they should be at these prices),  but the ambiance holds the trump card.  After dinner, we retired to the "Living Room"; a huge log room with a massive fireplace built in 1868 as a wedding gift to the couple who were settling the valley.  We met a charming couple and their friend,  and talked over Grand Marnier Soufflé and wine.  If you are ever in Keystone or anywhere in Summit County,  do yourself a favor and dine here in this amazing setting! You won't regret it!
