Summit Doin's With Mary & Jim ~ Vail Oktoberfest & More 11Sep26-12Sep26

Fri - Arrival... We headed out to Summit for a planned 3 couple weekend at the Nest. Unfortunately one team got waylayed, but Yohos made it Fri PM and we enjoyed MY's charcuterie and all our good wines. That evening we also played a tight game of Joker-Jumper where the ladies won (again).

Sat - F1 & Vail Oktoberfest... We all slept well in the cooler temps at 9800ft elevation. We arose early to catch the qualification at the Spanish Grand Prix of F1. It was exciting with Lando taking pole very late in Q3! We made breakfast, including "the best Colorado Quiche ever" according to Kala.

Afterward we headed out to Vail @ Lionshead for the Oktoberfest celebrations. We'd all decided to keep the Lederhosen stored and went over casual. It was a cool crowd with many dressed up and we found seats quickly near the main stage. The beer was not outstanding but we tried a Marzen.

After some dancers and oompah bands we went mobile and found the secondary stage where we enjoyed The Blue Ox band with country and keen covers. The ladies found special VIP seating.

We dined pretty early at Mountain Standard and asked for seating along the Blue River. That was nice and we found the food very good. We did not enter barrel rolling or cantilever stein holding. After a good day we came back to the Nest for some Listography and nightcaps.
