Durango - Purgatory

Today, we finished our second day of skiing at Purgatory.  www.durangomountainresort.com   The picture above shows the spectacular view that we enjoyed during our lunch with Luke, Amanda, and Andrew (picture below). The view reminded us of Psalm 19:1 which states - The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handiwork.

The evening ended with another controversial Scrabble game in the Hathaway/Doerstling house. The word of the night was "bigrig". Jane won again with her use of very rare two-letter words - ay, fa, and za (which was used twice).

Spring Break 2011 - Durango - Day 1

The weather was sunny and warm - maybe a little too warm for skiing, but the mountains were beautiful.

The Hathaways and Doerstlings spent a part of the afternoon sledding. Given the warmer weather, the snow was deep and soft resulting in us "post-holing".

The evening dinner was take-out -- absolutely wonderful pizza from Home Slice Pizza www.homeslicedelivers.com  This was followed by the first Scrabble competition of the trip. Jane won with words like "noddy" and "xi".
