The Broadmoor

It's AMAZING. I am sitting here in my large comfy bathrobe with the resort initial on it, with my feet up in a plush king sized bed. Just got done eating (both pieces :))the chocolate that the night maid left when she came to turn down the bed. She came while Parker and I were down at the indoor pool and spa. It was a beautiful walk back along the lake with all of the Christmas lights on the trees and "Silent Night" playing on the sound system with the snow covered mountains just barely visible in the dark. It's beautiful. The resort opened in 1918, so it's got a neat history and great architecture. Ballrooms, chandeliers, tons of windows, cozy fire places, dining rooms with dress codes. And of course Christmas decoration; it's a great time of year to be here. I feel out of place, and yet very much at home. Doormen and valets everywhere, everyone so polite. I love elegant feeling. It makes me want to be wearing a fancy dress and dancing though...We have our own little balcony too; too bad it's too cold to go out there and read. I wish I had time to sit and enjoy all of the little corners I'm finding. And the french doors. Something about them makes even the closet seem more elegant. I need some french doors I've decided. I've taken a bunch of pictures, however I think I left my camera in the car. So maybe I'll upload them tomorrow. I'm planning to get up and go enjoy the fitness center and pool while Mike can keep Parker. Not that I'm not happy to have Parker with me, but I would like a few more moments to enjoy this without having to wipe a nose or make sure he doesn't run off or break something. But there I go complaining...I really have nothing to complain about. I'm so thankful for the chance to be here and just sit and enjoy it. I've never been anywhere this nice, and probably never will be again.
