Monday June 22 - Friday June 26
This has been a very relaxing week for us! It's been a lot of fun to just kind of wing it every day!
One of the things we are focusing on this week is updating the condo. I mentioned in the last post about changing the beds around. On Tuesday, the new twin beds were delivered. They fit in the room look nicely and the room looks really good so far! We still need the headboard to be delivered, but so far so good! The 2nd master bedroom also looks good as well with the king bed in it, but unfortunately, the side chair doesn't fit in the room anymore. While moving the chair, we discovered that one of the legs was broken on it, and we also discovered the same leg was broken on the matching chair in the other master bedroom! So now we are on the hunt for a replacement chair for the first master bedroom (which does have room for a side chair) and debating if we need any sort of chair in the second bedroom that might fit without feeling crowded,
Other things we've done is explored some local events in town. On Tuesday, Grant, Katelyn, and Bobbi went to the Botanic Gardens and participated in a very relaxing Sound Bowl Meditation. On Thursday, Grant and I went to an 18+ Open Mic night at the Wild Horse movie theater. One of the theaters has been converted into a concert space - the first few rows of the seats were taken out and love seats were put in, and the back four rows are traditional movie theater seats. The floor area in front of the screen has a piano, drums, amps, lights, monitors, and mics. There were about 8 people who came up and sang 3 songs each while playing guitar or piano. It was an interesting evening! On Friday, we went to the base area where we listed to Low Down Brass Band, a high energy band from Chicago. The base are was hopping!
We are out a few times throughout the week - we did late night Happy Hour at 8th Street Steak House and Truffle Pig, had brunch at Freshies, lunch at Beau Jo's, and dinner at Mo's BBQ. Wrigley came with us to a few of those places - most places have dog friendly patios and Wrigley does a pretty good job with us! If other dogs are around, and are well behaved, Wrigley is too - and if we keep Wrigley close even if the other dog is squirrley we can keep Wrigley calm for the most part. And once the food is out Wrigley has one focus - getting as many treats as possible. lol.
Midweek, fires in Utah made air quality pretty bad, so we stayed indoors a lot and used the gym rather than hiking. It also gave us some fun opportunities to bake cookies and make chili. We also played lots of board games! The kids even joined us for Kingdomino, Flip 7, and Sushi Go, and Katelyn played a few rounds of Catan. Grant and I tried some new games - Targi and Patchwork.
Once the air cleared up we did get back up on the mountain. This time we hiked down Why Not - we've never hiked down that route before and it was interesting to hike exactly down a trail we have skied many many times. It even rained briefly on our way down! You can bet after this 5 mile hike, the jacuzzi felt really nice!
It's been a really nice week here in Steamboat!
