Hi. This is room 331.... can you bring us.....

Two weekends ago, Scott Dikeman came in town to ski in Vail. Scott is a baller and booked us an amazing room at the Marriott on the base of the mountain using his points. He is pretty much famous in the Marriott world and we got to expereince the luxury with him.

Saturday goes something like this:

Leave Denver 7:30am- sit in 4 hours of traffic on the way up to Vail. Get there... Amazing powder... we check in the the hotel and go shred the nar-nar (haha.. yes, people really say this. Not sure why) with the group consisting of Adam, Scott, Becky, Larry and I. BEST DAY EVER OF SKIING. That is all I can really say about it. Get back to the hotel. Start drinking. Start drinking more. Scott decides that the hotel robes and slippers should be our apparel for the night as a group. Call guest services and request more robes and slippers so there is enough for all five of us. The guest services man answers the phone and says "Mr. Dick-eee-Man, what can I assist you with?!" Funniest moment of my life. Still laughing about that. After putting the robes and slippers on, we decide it is a good idea to walk around this really nice hotel in our robes.


Get on the elevater. Feeling pretty good at this point in the night. Get off the elevater. Small boy says to his mom "Why is everyone wearing their robes at this hotel?!!!!!!" He pretty much thinks its the coolest thing ever and boosts our confidence. We then decide to see how far we can go with this whole robe thing so we head to the hotel bar to see if they will serve us in our robes. They don't say a word, though everyone is staring at us. We think this is a good time for a shot. First round of shots down the gullet..... what to do next. Hot tub!
Head to the hot tub, get in and refill beers. Family comes to the hot tub and a wasted mother with 2 kids gives us marriage advice. Including: sex, pregnancy, etc. right in front of her kids. It was hilarious, slightly awkward considering she was telling us in extreme detail about all these things. And repeating herself a bazillion times... ummm.... ok. We realize soon enough that the group of adults is pretty cool so talk to them for awhile and then head back to the bar. Still in the robes... now wet. We are sitting at the fancy hotel bar. Boys order Scotch on the rocks, girls order martinis. Seemed like a good idea at the time. We are hungry. I order pizza to the room. 45 mins later, pizza arrives- we devour in approx. 5 minutes. The boys decide we are going out/no questions. So we all shower, and head out to wonderful world of Vail and the jacked up prices. Bar #1: get a round of drinks... decide to play a drinking game. This is the game where you count to 11 and who lands on 11, makes up a rule for one of the numbers. Well, one of Adam's rule is "on #6, you have to say SHOTS MATE (we were pretending to be British the whole night... forgot to add that detail earlier) loud enough for the bar tender to hear. After a few rounds of this game, Becky gets #6. The bar tender actally hears and comes over. She is too embarrassed to admit we were playing a game. Actually orders a round of shots. Cost: $48.00. Yikes! But oh so funny at the time. Finish the game- head to a different bar. Becky and I call it a night at about 1am and the boys stay out until close.

Best night ever. One of the best weekends ever. Thanks again Scott!

So Happy :)
