We have a nice studio condo right on the Blue River with great views of the town and mountains. Pleep was very excited when he heard the setup was a Murphy bed. He thought it meant the Murphy girls were hooking up with us for the Oktoberfest event. Sadly, we had to tell him no but assured him they would be celebrating Oktoberfest in New York, Atlanta, and Pensacola.Breckenridge is an old mining town. In fact it is celebrating it's 150th anniversary this year. It was founded in 1859 during the Pike's Peak gold rush. A second mining boom in 1879 focused on silver and lead. This led to the Victorian town that is still evident everywhere. Breckenridge is the largest historic district in Colorado with more than 200 structures on the National Register of Historic Places.
We started the day with a walking tour of the area that included many of the historic buildings. Main Street is the heart of Breckenridge with shops, galleries, restaurants and bars
many housed in old Victorian buildings. After wandering through several galleries, we stumbled into a leather goods store where Ed looked at many very nice coats. Pleep and Delete liked the decorations - stuffed moose heads, bears, Indian headdresses, and other western items. They had a lot of fun playing on the displays while Ed tried on the coats. The staff there enjoyed watching the show.
After a tough day of touring and shopping, we headed up to the Breckenridge Brewery & Pub to sample their fare. We've always liked the Breckenridge Avalanche and other ales. One of their fall special brews was an India Pale Ale which is one of Ed's favorites. Pleep insisted the economical decision was to order a pitcher. After he & Delete had their share, Ed suggested they needed to go back in the bag before they were in the bag.
