Our Little Vacation

My little vacation consisted of 48ish hours in Colorado with Andy and his parents. Even though this trip was too quick, it was so sweet and fun that it didn't really even matter. We were there to stain Abe's cabin, and even though it was a big project we managed to find time to stop and play!



Andy and I had such a great time together. It felt like we were on our own little honeymoon. I hadn't seen Andy for nearly three days, because he had left early to get a head start on the staining. I will say that there is definitely something about being away from each other for the first time since being married! Being apart made me really appreciate Andy even more. I was so thankful to not have to eat dinner alone and sleep in bed by myself once we were reunited in Denver.



After a full day of staining we decided to head to town! We ate dinner with his parents on Friday night, at our favorite spot, Eric's restaurant! It was the first time that Andy and I branched out and ordered something different off the menu. We settled on an olive oil pizza, and it was so good!! It had garlic dough, basil, tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, and instead of sauce-it had olive oil. We highly recommend it!! 

The next day we decided to take a break from staining to go road biking. We woke up and headed out to Hoosier Pass, were I dropped off Andy so he could bike 10 miles (descending 4,000 ft). He looked super cool and flew down the Pass at 40 mph or so!!!




Then we met up in Breckinridge for breakfast. After breakfast, we hopped on our bikes and rode from Breckinridge to Frisco (12 miles) and stopped at fun outdoor spot called Foote's Rest for ice-cream and a cold beer! After a few photos were taken, texts were sent and a few phone calls were made (no cell service in Fairplay so we had to take advantage of good reception) we biked back to Breck. We biked a total of 22 miles and both got a little sunburned! It was so much fun!!! Good company, gorgeous scenery, homemade ice-cream....what more could I ask for?!



Anyways....our little vacation was so fun and memorable and I can't wait for the next one!
