A friend, food, hot tub and powder filled 30th!

Dave has a teacher inservice day today, and I promised myself I would have a lazy Saturday. Somehow I have mentally planned too many things to fit into 1 day... and am still considering it lazy. (I have my mom to thank for this trait!) Since, as usual I am being put to shame by the recent frequency of the Scarborough's blogging, I decided to start the day with an update of my own.

I am not sure why so many people dread their 30th birthday! Mine was nothing short of awesome! We spent the weekend with 15 friends in Telluride (a few were coming and going throughout the weekend). Dinner was in over-the-top "30th birthday" style at 221 South Oak.

I of course ordered gnocchi (my requested birthday dinner for as long as I can remember) and many glasses of wine and laughs later, had pecan apple bread pudding for dessert. Delicious!

Dave and I took advantage of snowboarding with 2 skilled skiers (yes... Ryan, that includes you ;o) and explored new terrain in Telluride. The Revelation Bowl is Telluride's newest lift serviced area which was previously only a "hike to" bowl (go here and click on "revelation map").

Talk about powder!! We spent 2 long days happily playing in the stuff! Thank goodness for the hot tub at our condo or I might still be sore!

Thanks to all of our friends who celebrated with me. It was definitely a birthday to remember!
