Leslie & John spent Christmas & New Year's Eve in Aspen with John's parents (Christmas Eve was spent in Beulah with the Olivers). John & his dad came down with a nasty hot tub sickness from the Oliver's new hot tub that made them very sick for the first few days of the trip. Then Leslie came down with Bronchitis. John wasn't able to pop the question until the very last day of their vacation. They waded through the deep snow in Paepke Park and he propsed in the gazebo!
In July, John & Leslie took a trip to France to see the Tour and spend time in Paris. John got George Hincappie to sign his bike seat and we were up close and personal with the bike riders. Had a spectacular time and Leslie got to practice her French again (all the Parisians seemed to think she was French). Spent time at the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Versaille, etc.
