Vail Getaway

This week in Rifkinland...

Jamie and I headed to Vail, after a last minute invitation from an old co-worker to sample the newly renovated Tivoli Lodge. It was a great chance to get to Vail, which we haven't done yet this year, and also a nice opportunity to relax away from home, which I'm sure we won't be doing too much in the near future.

We had a late dinner at one of our favorite Vail restaurants, Sapphire, on Friday night, skied all day Saturday, met some friends for drinks on Saturday afternoon and then went to Campo di Fiori for some excellent Italian cuisine on Saturday night - Jamie had cappellini with a pesto sauce and I had osso bucco, because really, how often do you get to have osso bucco?

Before going to Vail on Friday we had our 20 week appointment with Jamie's obstetrician. Here are a couple pics of the little bambino/a.

Profile of the head, spinal column, etc.

Jamie's been working on a huge RFP all last week and this past weekend and she's ready to submit it tomorrow, after a big visit to Office Depot and her new office moniker, The Collating Queen. While Jamie's bringing in the big bucks, Ben will be in Snowbird testing the latest powder skis on behalf of Ski Magazine. Life is hard here in Rifkinland, but at least Jamie will have a big dish of no-bake lasagna to keep her company this week.
