Colorado

Kevin and I escaped (sans kids!) for 4 days to Colorado this past week. We were supposed to spend two nights in Beaver Creek and two nights in Denver but we loved Beaver Creek so much we changed our reservations to stay there longer. We were supposed to go to Beaver Creek last November for our 5th anniversary but I had a "stomach bug" known now as William. :)  Apparently not many people visit the Colorado mountains in early October so it was quiet everywhere we went. If you want to go to Beaver Creek, go in October!! The aspens are a beautiful yellow and orange and we were there for the first snow.

The first night eating at Ti Amo.

Outside our hotel in the snow. (Nothing says "the Colorado mountains" quite like the parking garage in the background.)

This is the stream that runs behind our hotel. The picture doesn't even begin to capture the beauty of it and the amazing sound of the water running.

Roasting marshmallows at the Ritz.

Our hotel room had a kitchen...the perfect place for me to clean and dry all my pumping parts. :)

Our hotel with the ski gondola right there. This is one of our very favorite places to stay!

Dinner the last night in Denver at Osterio Marco in LoDo. We sat at the same table at the same restaurant 2 years ago on a trip to Denver.

This trip was one of the best we've ever had! Thank you to my parents for keeping both kids for 5 days snd losing a lot of sleep with hungry little William. Thanks to my friend Suzi for the SWA passes. Without the three of you, this trip would not have happened!
