The girls want the truck because there is more room in the back seat. 
Charlie will ride with Danny in Lisa's Camry with the boys in the back seat. 
Somewhere along the way, Tabitha decided to moon the boys. Michael and Daniel both came on the radio saying they were scarred for life. Lisa and I laughed for miles at the thought of our boys "freaking out" at the sight of a girl's behind. In a few years they'll be wishing to see it.There is some spot along the way that stinks to high heaven. There are thousands of cows and they let it be known that this is their home. I have never smelled anything so horrible for so many miles in my life!
We stopped at a Dairy Queen along the way somewhere to use the bathroom. The place was packed and I saw at least one Arlington High School sweatshirt on a boy inside. Small world.
It seemed like the drive would never end, and then we came along to some beautiful snow scenery.
We drove through some of the windingest roads I have ever seen. They went on for miles. Some spots were only wide enough for one vehicle to go through. It seemed like we were in the backwoods or something. We saw maybe 2 other cars on the road the whole time we were on this stretch. We were on these winding roads for so long, the girls had to get out and make yellow snow by the side of the road. We lost the boys and we lost radio contact when we stopped. Thankfully, they pulled over and waited for us.When we finally arrived at the condo, 
Lisa told Danny that he signed for the wrong room. Danny just looked at her and said, "What's the difference?" So, I signed for room 216, got the keys and away we went. Lisa and Danny had the keys to room 212, with Lisa griping at Danny all the way out. Now, the way we had planned this, Michael and Daniel were supposed to stay with Lisa and Danny in their 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo. Tabitha and Katie were supposed to stay with me and Charlie in our 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo. Upon entering the rooms, we discovered that one of the "bedrooms" was off the main living area with no privacy. 
Condo 212 is on the outside of the building facing the back of the main condo building. There is a balcony, but you have to go out on the balcony and turn to your left to see the pool and the beautiful mountain view. There is a flat fireplace on one wall, and the closets are small. There is a small tv hanging from the wall. There is also a lot of noise coming from the condo above. Condo 216 is on the outside of the building facing the mountain. You can see the view from the big picture window on the side wall and from the balcony. 
There is a corner fireplace with 2 sides and a small hearth. There is a large tv hanging from the wall with a built-in DVD player and VCR. There is a long closet in the hallway with mirrored doors. There is another long closet in the main room where the "bedroom" part is, and another large closet in the actual bedroom. There is no noise coming from the condo above. Hmmm... I think I see why Lisa was telling Danny that he signed for the wrong room. She wanted the nicer room... I mean, this is her anniversary weekened, right? I have no problem with this. So, I tell Tabitha that we will just take condo 212 instead. Now Tabitha is upset. She also wants the nicer condo and this is her birthday present, so she wants her way. I have a headache and don't really care where I sleep... I just need something to eat. We didn't stop for lunch again.
With a lot of considering and contemplating... this is how it worked out. Lisa and Danny moved into the bedroom in condo 216. Michael and Daniel moved onto the couch in condo 216 (it folded out into a bed). Charlie and I got the main room "bedroom" in condo 216. Tabitha and Katie got condo 212 all to themselves. So we have 4 adults and 2 children sharing one bathroom, and 2 teenage girls sharing 1 bathroom. That works out. The girls took one of the 2-way radios to their room so we could stay in contact all the time. Mostly we were together, but during the night, we wanted the girls to be able to get ahold of us in case they had an emergency. We also kept a key to their room so we could bolt in on them at any time.
Now that the room situation was settled, we decided to venture out to see where we wanted to eat dinner. First we went to Texas Red's. There was an hour wait. My headache was not getting any better, so we left. We walked down the street, took a few pictures and headed for the Timbers restaurant.
No waiting here. Yeah! 
Michael and Daniel enjoyed playing bandits while we waited for our meal. 
We had a balcony seat, which was nice, except people kept coming up behind us and the railing, so we had to scoot our seats forward, so they could go out on the balcony outside to take pictures. 
During the meal, one of the waitresses asked if she could prop the door open because the staff was hot. I said no. There was a 30 to 40 degree wind that blew in every time someone opened the door. We would have been miserable. She was not happy about my answer, but I didn't care. She wasn't going to make us uncomfortable.
After dinner, we went to the grocery store and picked up a few items. We wanted to stock up for breakfasts and lunches in the coming days. Danny and the boys went to the candy store to stock up. We carried our goodies back to the room and settled in for the night.
