Daycation

Yesterday Scot and I went on a little daycation. A few weeks ago we decided to go up to Breckenridge for their Snow Sculpture competition. We had never been before but had heard really great things about it so I really want to go and check it out! It was such a fun day, we just wish we had been able to stay there a little bit longer than a few hours! Here are pictures from the day...

As we were pulling in to town we saw these wind surfers! They are wind surfing on ice and snowboards! We thought this was really cool.

I kept telling Scot we were going to see ice sculptures but they were really snow sculptures. These were the only ice sculptures they had but they were still really cool!

This sculptures was created by a team from Mexico. This was one of Scot's favorites! Here it is from the front...

And from the back...

A couple more that weren't our favorites but still very impressive...Each sculpture starts out as a 20 ton block of snow that is created from snow from the ski resort.

The Polar Bear was one of our favorites!

Here is the lady from the front. She even has a comb in her hair.

Here she is from the back.

The one behind us is a man playing a violin but as you can see, we are blocking him. Whoops.
Overlooking all the sculptures...

Part of the ski resort and a sign that says thin ice, do not cross. Clearly people listened and decided to walk across the ice anyway! Duh!!

After we walked around downtown and ate dinner at the "Pizza Parlor" in this really cool old victorian house we went back to see the sculptures all lit up at night. They looked really beautiful in the light and it was a lot easier to see the details...

We really liked this one obviously!
On the way back to the car we stopped at a little cafe and bought chocolate chip oatmeal and peanut butter cookies with hot chocolate to drive home with! Yum! The perfect ending to a really fun day!

I think our next daycation is going to be skiing. I'M SCARED! Stay tuned for how that goes in a couple weeks!
