On the Road again

Welcome to Beautiful Colorado.... so the state signs says.  And it's the truth! However, our first trip to Denver was a little more rocky than we expected as our temporary living was in HOTELS! And unfortunately not the nicest hotels.  We spent a week at the ever so classy Best Inn Suites.  But we left day 7 running... it was terrible!

Next we occupied the Loews Hotel in Denver.  A much needed upgrade for our 5 year anniversary! (We were even treated with champagne and strawberries!!)  For our anniversary, we enjoyed a night on the town.  We watched the sunset at the Peak's Lounge in the Grand Hyatt hotel.  Amazing views of the mountains.  We treated ourselves to some yummy treats and cheers ourselves to many more years of adventure and happiness!

So after our two weeks of hotel life, we accomplished a few business items such as finding a place to live and learning the city a little bit.  Only bad thing was that our new home was not going to be available until October 1st.  So we decided it would be best for us financially to head back to OK for some more time with the family.  We headed back to Bartlesville for about 2 more weeks before heading back to Colorado for a very special treat.

The Berney's were so generous to take us on a little vacation out to Aspen.  What better way to enjoy homelessness... haha.  Every trip we have had in Aspen has been gorgeous but this trip was top of the line! The seasons were on the turn so the Aspen Trees were turning a vibrant yellow.  The chipmunks were out with bells on. And we witnessed more nature in 10 days than I could see in 30 years of life! It was incredible.  Jason and I enjoyed our daily golf cart rides around the Roaring Forks Club seeking out little critters and beautiful scenes! We fished. Golfed. Wined & Dined. But nothing will top our hike up to Maroon Bells!   This hike has been something I had been so eager to do but unfortunately during each of our visits it had been too cold or snowy!  

And the wait.... well worth it! These views were spectacular! Check out a few photos of the trips.  And yes that is a REAL BEAR! We saw Pikas, Mountain Goats and Bears... OH MY!

It was a great trip to Aspen.  But October is finally here. And we are eager to get back to life.  Get back to our belongings and start this new adventure in our new home!
