Colorado

Ahhh.... home sweet home! I'm finally home to stay after several weekends of traveling! I've had a ball visiting with good friends and family over the last few weeks! I did Colorado, Chicago and just returned from northern Michigan (don't worry my friends, I was nowhere near Ann Arbor!).

Katie and The Millers, thanks again for having us! We had such a great time!

Here are some of the highlights of Denver and Breckenridge. There's more to come from Chicago and Michigan!




Katie makes the BEST kookies! They are seriously the best I've ever had. She's definitely got great recipes...she showed me how to make them, but of course they weren't the same! Katie, I need another lesson!!


This is the local bar we made a few trips to. The locals call it 'The Spot' though...interesting...

In Breckenridge, we went on a hike through the old mining areas that just recently opened to the public. The Millers are such a neat and active couple! They lead a hike once a week through different trails in the summer.





Hopped on the ski lift for great views and a ride back down!


Found a lot of farmer's markets going on! So many good foods! We bought fixings for a small picnic to take to the Red Rock Amphitheater for lunch!




....still daydreaming of Kaite's Kookies......delicious!

On our last night in Denver, we went to Jazz in the Park. We bought more picnic food at the markets and enjoyed wine and great company. We had a great time visiting with friends from town that we don't get to see enough!

Our last afternoon, we stopped at the Denver Botanic Gardens for another picnic. It was another gorgeous day and a great end to a perfect trip!
