FAC

We are now officially members of the Vail FAC - Friday Afternoon Club. We had decided to "join" - aka attend - this club last week; after weather prohibited us from joining FAC last Friday, we had our hearts set on joining today after our new teacher meeting.


(Side note: the meeting was fine, got lots of good ideas, met two other new teachers from our building and are rip-roaring-ready-to-go for Monday out at Gypsum Creek). Anyway, what is FAC??? and why would you care to attend???

FAC is held all around out here, almost every restaurant has one...but the particular event we attended was at Vail. After 4 p.m. on Fridays, you can ride the gondola up Vail mountain for free. When you get to the top you have lots of options: go hiking, get cheap food and drinks, play sand volleyball, play bocceball, play disc golf, just sit and watch people, listen to a band, and so on and so forth.





It was awesome - and by the looks of the size of the crowd, we aren't the only people who think so! Tonight was a beautiful night on the mountain, a perfect setting for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. We took some pictures of ourselves and had a few strangers help out too. Enjoy the views!
