Nathan, Amelia and I are in Aspen with a few friends and we are loving this gorgeous place. Jo has a connection to a beautiful house in the mountains and let me tell you, we are living the good life right now. Her friends Mary Grace and Larry from Houston are here and Amy, Mike and Addison, too. Amy and Mike drove in on Friday and the rest of us flew in Thursday morning.
Amelia did great on both flights....SA to Denver and Denver to Aspen. She was happy and enjoyed all the attention she got for being so dad-gum cute! Our flight left SA at 6:15 am and we got to Aspen at 9am.
We flew Frontier and Nathan and I highly recommend this airline. They were great, especially with us traveling with Amelia. They made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Nathan got a little extra attention because one of the Frontier female employees that checked us in at the counter also checked us in at the gate. She saw Nathan in "Daddy Action" and truth be told, he IS awesome and she caught a glimpse and a little crush. She made a big fuss over him and called him "Wonder Dad".The house is amazing! Thanks, Joey for the awesome accommodations. Here is the view from the front door....
And here is the view out of our bedroom. We had a door that led to to the patio...
Here's Jo, Nathan and Amelia eating breakfast at the house on Friday morning.
Amelia eating breakfast....This house had everything. Even though we brought a pack and play with us because we didn't know what they had, they had a beautiful crib on our bedroom. Amelia was super comfy all weekend...
The skiing as awesome, so they tell me! I'm a little jealous but I'll just have to wait a few years until Amelia is a little older for ski school. Here are some pictures of Snowmass Village
The place is amazing. Take a look AROUND. Nathan used Photosynth software so you could see a 3-D 360 view of the place. It's pretty cool....
Amy, Nathan, Amelia and I rode the Gondola a few times. It was great to see all the skiing in action. Nathan did ski but hung with us for a while....
Here's the gang hanging out at Sneaky's
Sneaky's wasn't the only great place for grub while in Aspen. The Main Street Cafe and Poppy Cock's were great, too. Here's Amelia at Poppy Cock's where mommy had some yummy blueberry and granola pancakes....
Stay tuned for Aspen part two....

I swear, that is THE cutest baby in the whole world! What a great baby on the plane...you can't ask for more than that. Most of us would want to stay in the lodge (or at least I would) so I think you got the better deal Nicole.
What a beautiful home!
See, I told you travelling with a girl her age would be easy (and fun!) Glad you're enjoying the time together!
Wow! It looks like you guys had a blast! I'm so happy to see that taking a trip like that with a baby isn't as difficult as I pictured. I think I need to plan something soon with my little one while I'm still feeling brave! :) Wonderful pictures, Nicole!! Can't wait to get together.
It looks like you absolutely miserable! I'm glad you toughed it out though!
Wow! Looks like y'all had an amazing trip. What a great traveler Amelia is. She looks sooo happy in all of the pictures.
That little one seems to love the cold! Nice photos!
