Going to Winter Park next week

Val and I are going to go to Winter Park, Colorado tomorrow--maybe to ski a little. I'll see how my back holds up (it's a little better) and Val will see if her knees can stand it. She hasn't skied for quite a while. She has a bionic knee, so we will see. Anyway it will be fun to get up to Lorrie and Craig's condo. I still hope to go with Craig and his family in early April.

Today was interesting. First Val and I went to a restaurant in town called the Breakfast Klub. They have stuff that you don't usually associated with breakfast. We had the Waffle and Wings (a Belgian waffle with fried chicken wings surrounding it) and the Katfish and grits (which also includes 2 eggs). Very busy place and a very mixed crowd. Sally and I had been there several years ago before it had been "discovered". There have been a couple of articles recently and it is 5 stars in Zagat's. Fun, and we won't need to eat again for a few days.

After the breakfast, we went to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, one of the really good museums here. They had a traveling exhibit on "Discovering the Civil War". It came from the National Archives and included a rare look at the original Emancipation Proclamation. It was on display for only a few days and was fascinating and a bit overwhelming.

Now home and getting packed to go tomorrow.
