As many of you know, we spend much of February-April interviewing. I just finished my 11th interview, and Mike still has 3 more to finish off his 15. We were lucky to make a mini-vacation out of one of our interviews, Denver, CO, and spent the weekend in Frisco/Vail with Libby and Jeremy, Mackenzie, and Annie! We arrived Friday night, drove to Frisco, skied Vail with Mackenzie (and her TC friend Libby), spent Saturday evening with Libby and Jeremy, Mackenzie and Libby, and Steve Howe (who flew in for the weekend too) at Kemosabe, an excellent sushi restaurant in Frisco. Mike and I stayed up late and caught up with Lib and Jer, such great times! The next day, we headed to The Butterhorn for brunch with Lib and Jer before heading back down to Denver.
We were so lucky to meet up with dear friends from the Cottage, Amy (Goetz) and Justin Rzepka, and ski a few runs with them. It was also fun to see Amy's sister Laura for a few minutes. Such a small world, we had no idea we would both be at Vail the same day!
We finished off the weekend exploring Denver in 60 degree weather! It was great and so relaxing. We were also able to meet up with dear friends Annie and Lindsey (past graduates of U of M med-peds and peds residency) who are now fellows at U of Colorado/Denver Children's. Thank you so much Annie for hosting us! I wish we had pictures to document our visit with them. The interviews went well for both Mike and I, and we headed home.
Over the course of our interviews, we will have traveled to Detroit, Royal Oak, Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, Cleveland, Columbus, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Rochester (NY), and Denver. We are exhausted, and so ready for a break, and to find our where we will be going for fellowship. Match day is May 19th for Laura and June 16th for Mike. Wish us luck!
