Crested Butte

We'll try to get more info on this blog post soon, but many of the people pictured on this post are of Slovenian origin. We found this when we were in the museum in Crested Butte Colorado. Sarah's grandmother was "Sedmak". Crested Butte had many Slovenian and Croatian immigrants.

Lots of Sovenians and Croatians settled in Crested Butte

Sedmak is the last name of Sarah's Grandmother and the maiden name of her mother Ancka

They had more snow than Vail, but they too need some fresh snow


This was back in the day I guess. "Teachers taught classes in English. The students were forced to learn a second language very quickly to complete their classwork." The horror. We can't do that anymore, it might hurt someone's feelings.




We had to get out of town and away from the vail lodging business to get a bit of a break. We headed out to Crested Butte for a short weekend. It felt like we were gone for a week.
