Having done our best to support the domestic economy in furnishing the condo, we decided it would be nice to honor the artists. Unfortunately, most could not afford to come to the event.
Nevertheless, it was a great party.

Skiing in Aspen for Marcia Jan 12 – 20, 2012
Click on the photo to see the album of this trip Three years after a terrible break in her right leg while skiing, Marcia decided it was time to get back on the slopes.
During the fall, we had traveled most of the Colorado ski areas in the RV and in earlier years Marcia had skied most of the resorts in the West. The decision was Snowmass at Aspen, mostly because we could convince brother Tim along with Kelly and Claire to join us for part of the stay.
Dan enjoyed the wood fire, hot tub and good wine while catching up on a lot of reading. Of course there were a few galleries in Aspen to lighten the pockets.

2012 – Planes, boats and an RV
Pretty calm year for travels. No spring trip on the GMC instead we have a lot of boating between the Bahamas and the Great Lakes.
The Great Lakes trip started in Massachusetts on May 3 and ended in Alexandria Bay, NY on Sep 6th. We covered over 4,000 nautical miles including all of the Great Lakes and locking thru the three great canal systems of North America, the Erie, the Trent-Severn Waterway and the Rideau (a World Heritage site). Superb weather and a great new boat.
A month in the fall in the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming and Montana with a touch of Canada included.
Marcia then enjoyed a birthday in London with a little Paris added in.
Back home for the winter with a nice trip to New England, NY and NJ for the holidays visiting friends and relatives.
