re: Rome travel question, Sistine Chapel

I agree with everything, everyone has already said.
However, the Sistine Chapel is amazing. I still don't believe a man painted it.
It is darker than you expect. You will not have an awe that lingers with you the rest of your life, but it is really cool... and if you've always wanted to see it, you have to!
The tour of all the art collection in the Vatican leading up to it is awesome.
The rooms throughout the Vatican are almost as cool as the chapel.
The tour inside St. Peters afterwards is also worth it.
If you are going to do anything for a day in Rome. The Vatican tour (including the chapel) is the best way to spend it.

re: Any of you guys ever been to the Kentucky Derby?

There are some companies that package an experience. It is worth it.
Bus ride to and from oaks and derby.
Logistics and tickets are the biggest barriers to a nice, non-infield experience.
It was fun to go to the museum and shop beforehand.
Make a run over to bourbon country while you are there.
Downtown Louisville is cool to walk around.
For betting, ask a sharp how to read the PPs for a few races and learn to pick a box exacta and box trifecta.
Even a novice can break even.

Or is he more of an MLB pitching coach where players already have command of 3, 4, or 5 pitches and you can call whatever you want?
How has the development of pitchers really been in the last couple of years?
Anyone on this year's team better than last year?
Does he get credit for Skenes, Hurd, Eyanson that transfers in?
Does he get credit for #1 overall pick talent Anderson?
If so, great... if you have 1st round talent, he's your guy.
What if you have an average college staff?
Does he really know how to help those guys?
Because it seems like it has been a challenge lately.
I've always found it weird that adults want to go to disney.
I get it, many of them are millenials that grew up in the disney golden era of 90's movies.
But still, at some point, you have to move on with your life and do something else.
Go hiking in a national park. Visit another country.
Only going to visit disney over and over and over is terrible.

How can they be this naive?
If you let anyone enter your country... what would stop China from sending 500M people, have them vote themselves into Congress and install a Manchurian President, pass laws that say they can kill all non-Chinese, then genocide Americans?
Nothing. It would be legal American suicide.
I can't even think of a word to describe the character of the mayor.

1. Don't waste your life wishing for the next phase to start.
2. You know what to do by instinct. You can and will be a good parent.
- Commit to being the Dad that you want your daughter to remember. Because you don't get to have a do-over. So, commit to making the sacrifices now, no matter how hard, to be her hero.
It's easy to think: oh, I can't wait for when they can start walking. or going to the bathroom themselves. or get dressed on their own. Or get on the school bus. or.... etc.
And before you know it, they are gone out of the house, and you'd give anything to have that time back.
Diapers suck. Embrace the suck. One day the diapers will be gone, but you'll miss the sweet baby giggles.
So, when you get no sleep. or you have to clean up poop in the tub. or vomit all over the bedroom in the middle of the night.
Or when you can't take a poop on your own without them standing there next to you.
That too, is a gift. Where they need you, and you are there for them.
You mean everything to them. And one day it won't be that way.
But if you truly embrace that each step of the way has its own beauty and challenges. You won't look back on your life with sadness. You'll have savored each day, and you'll have those special memories that you get to keep forever in your heart that will fill you with happiness.

re: Recommendation for Anniversary Ski Trip Next Year
Posted by Mahootney on 2/25/26 at 10:41 am to ColoradoAg03
quote:I agree with all of this.
Whitefish, MT
Big Sky, MT
Sun Valley, ID
Jackson, WY
Telluride, CO
Avoid the crowds at CO's I-70/north central resorts, as well as Park City, UT crowds. For 10yr anniversary, go somewhere nicer and less crowded. Yall will appreciate the experience.
I would also add Whistler as an option. I know it is in Canada, but it has been the best couples trip we went to, by far. Bobsledding, Scandinavian spa, ice rooms with vodka tasting.
quote:Are you going to ski? Or are you going to enjoy the experience.
Depends what you are looking for?
Big Sky is an awesome mountain for skiing, but there isn't much else to do there. Kinda like a man's man. Big sky is a skier's ski resort.
quote:Telluride is awesome. Great town and mountain.
Big Sky, Aspen, Deer Valley and Sun Valley. Jackson is nice but it is a bit steeper then the others. Never been to Telluride but it looks absolutely awesome.
Parts are steep like Jackson. But just like Jackson there are parts of it that are fine for all levels. You can kinda make of the resort what you want.
Aspen is a bit more upscale if that's what you want (to be "around" rich people... and have lots of restaurant and shopping options). I liked snowmass mountain more than either ajax or highlands.
I find the old mining towns that happen to have ski mountains to be much better to visit than ski mountains that then built the town.

I posted a cost comparison in the travel board ski thread last year for most of the major resorts.
Big sky is definitely up there as one of the most expensive due to flights and lodging. It is an awesome mountain focused on skiing, but it costs.
Aspen, big sky, and telluride are most expensive.
Jackson is surprisingly cheap when you factor in the $400/pp flight credit they give you for booking through jackson hole website.
Powder mountain, snow basin, keystone, winter park, jackson hole, copper are cheapest.
