Vail, CO

This past weekend Ben and I headed west for the wedding of Scott Whitfield and Brooke Anderson. Ben and Scott have been close friends since meeting at Colorado State and Scott was one of Ben's groomsmen. Now Ben was able to return the favor. Brooke and Scott were married at The Lodge at Vail and they did a spectacular job. What a fun weekend! Vail is a fabulous little ski town with lots of fun bars and cute shops. Bret Hightower was our travel buddy as the three of us were all flying in and out of Denver together. Or so we thought. Unfortunately, our perfect weekend was slightly spoiled by our difficulties getting home, which consisted of missing a flight, hanging out at Denver International Airport for almost twelve hours, hanging out at Hartsfield-Jackson for an additional five hours, a sleepless night and lost baggage. But I'm trying not to dwell on that and focus on how much fun we had beforehand. Congratulations, Brooke and Scott Whitfield!

John Heinle, Barry Tuthill, Scott Whitfield, Bret Hightower and Ben partake in a ski town tradition: the shot ski.
