Look at that view!!! Just a short five minute (maybe not even) drive from our home base is the little town called Dillon, named after the lake it is perched by. Dylan was so excited that there was a lake much like his name, he kept boasting of knocking on the mayor's office to demand a spelling change to match his.
Here is the marina on Lake Dillon. After picking up a ginormous sub, chips, and drinks from the local market, we hopped on our rented runabout and headed out to explore the waters.
Dylan kept bugging us to let him steer the boat, we finally gave in.
And of course, Sophie-So will never allow to be outdone. Shet got a turn also.
As excited as she was at first, her midday nap won out. Liv...always falling asleep.
This cute little ice cream shoppe only served the homemade variety. It was absolutely heavenly. The kids got the chocolate pudding and vanilla flavors. Louie and I ventured to be a bit more adventurous. (Ya, I know, Louie, too!) Instead of the usual cookies 'n cream, he got the Oreo Speedwagon, much like his fave, but with a twist: Kahlua flavor mixed in. AND he liked it! I got the Black Walnut flavor, much like butter pecan, but with a richer, stronger essence to it. My fave ice cream treat so far.
This was a first. Apparently, many people suffer from altitude sickness. Because of the high altitude of these resorts, there is significantly less oxygen than most people are used to. And so these little oxygen lounges are a staple at Breck. I kinda just "whatever'ed" the whole notion until Dylan started complaining of a headache and nausea. So we headed in thinking to try it out.
Here's Dylan hooked up to some lavender-scented oxygen.
It seems to have helped him quite a lot.
After the boat trip, we headed down to Breckenridge. Unlike Keystone, which is primarily a ski resort, "Breck" as locals call it, is a real town. Despite it being the low season, the streets were still populated. Don't get me wrong, we like the solitude we have at Keystone, but we didn't want to walk around today as if we were the only ones who survived a nuclear holocaust.

Awesome day again. We did a lot, but we relaxed in the condo until noon, so we still feel relaxed and well-rested. Tomorrow, we will explore more of Keystone and do a little paddleboating.
