Winter Park Weekend

Over Memorial day weekend we spent a few days in Winter Park. This was our 2nd time up there and once again had such a wonderful time. There is nothing better then being with the family up in the mountains!
The kids loved running out on the deck every two hours and watched the trains go by literally right outside our condo. It was fun to see them get excited every time one went by but not so exciting at 3 am!
We spent the weekend exploring the outdoors. Going on hike's, throwing rocks in the river, swimming and most of all relaxing!



"Ski Idlewild" is an abandoned resort on the east side of Winter Park. We enjoyed walking around an old chair lift that still stands.
Our hike to Adam's Fall's was beautiful. The trail went right along the river and at the top was a quiet meadow surrounded by pine trees.


For our family, the best way to end the perfect weekend is with some soft serve ice cream by the lake!

That looks like such a nice time. I am going to have to come visit sometime and see what it is all about. Maybe in 5 years when my kids can tolerate the car!
