vail day 1. bonkers in aspen groves

we recently felt the urge to 'get out of dodge' and headed to the one and only vail, colorado to savor the final days of colorado yellow foliage. it's our version of a budget 'road trip' with more focus on r&r and less on destintation. it turns out, because of our killer hot summer, the foliage display came a bit late and we hit it right. we stretched our legs and explore the terrain we know 'as the best skiing money can buy.' there's a new game in town, called 'find dash.' see if you can spot him:

r. j. actually tried to not make this look like a cheesy studio portrait, but failed miserably :).
