The Zokoes Take Over CO

Our good friends Matt and Anna Zokoe made my entire off-week by coming out to CO this past week and skiing with me!  We skied, got pampered (in our ways), ate some good food, and tried A LOT of beer.

Thursday the Matts and Anna skied Keystone well into the evening hours.  We covered a lot of ground while Mel relaxed in the lodge reading her book.

Friday the guys and girl split up.  The Matts took Beaver Creek Ski Resort by storm and covered almost 20,000 vertical feet before the day was done.  Sadly we missed out on the freshly baked cookies they hand out at the end of the day.  The girls spend the day getting pampered by getting mani-pedi's and massages.  We had dinner at Beau Jo's and then hit up the Colorado Mills Outlet Mall.

Saturday we did a beer tour of Ft. Collins (about an hour North of Denver).  We started with a tour of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, then made stops at Ft. Collins Brewery, New Belgium Brewery, and Odell's Brewery.  We all (sans Melissa) enjoyed a number of great beer samples.  It really paid off to have a DD!

Sunday we all went to Red Rocks for church and while Melissa was volunteering at the YMCA, the rest of us laid low and watched Breaking Dawn.

It's always a great time when the Zokoe's come to visit and fortunately we get to see them again soon when we go back to MI to celebrate another friends wedding.
