Remember when we bought a house? And then painted everything, re-did the kitchen, re-did the dining room, re-did the bathroom (oops, guess I didn't blog that), landscaped the yard, and were just settling in? Yeah, we've moved. Anthony somewhat jokingly threw in an application for a job in Aspen. Within about an hour of submitting … Continue reading That time we bought a house, remodeled it, and then moved into a cabin

Casa Bonita
What would a trip to Colorado be without dinner at Casa Bonita? Well, a lot healthier, that's one thing. But not very fun! After watching the South Park Casa Bonita episode we decided we couldn't skip out on a trip to the infamous Casa Bonita. Where tacky decor, terrible entertainment, and appalling food all collide … Continue reading Casa Bonita
Denver and Coors Brewery
I know, how terrible is it that I'm still trying to catch up with posting things from July? Pretty terrible. Anyhow, so while Shawnelle was in town we spent the day downtown exploring Denver, eating delicious food at Jelly Cafe, and shopping. I didn't really take photos. Sorry. But the weather was beautiful, the food … Continue reading Denver and Coors Brewery
Breckenridge – August 2014
So I'm maybe just a biiiiiit behind in posting some adventures back from when Shawnelle was in town. I mean, this was only the beginning of August and now it's only mid-October. It could be worse! While Shawnelle was here we took her up to Breckenridge via the Loveland pass, which is always a pretty … Continue reading Breckenridge – August 2014
South Platte River
http://youtu.be/LL4ceUxu4bQ Last Friday we headed out for an overnight camping trip along South Platte River, near Deckers, Colorado. We wanted to camp somewhere with a relatively low elevation since it's been getting really cold in the mountains. After getting a little lost (because Anthony kept telling me to look for, "Pine River near Dillenger,") … Continue reading South Platte River
Ziplining and White Water Rafting
When Shawnelle and I were planning her visit, she mentioned she wanted to go ziplining and white water rafting. I wasn't really sure where or how far we'd have to go to do these things, but a quick Google search and I landed on Arkansas Valley Adventure (AVA) which offered both ziplining and rafting … Continue reading Ziplining and White Water Rafting
Overnight Rafting Trip
I have a lot more photos and things to share from Shawnelle's visit, but wanted to get this fun trip Anthony and I went on up and posted! In early August, Anthony and I joined some of Anthony's coworkers on an overnight rafting trip from Grand Junction, Colorado, into Utah. We rented a raft (it's … Continue reading Overnight Rafting Trip
Matthews Winters Park Hike
Last week, my friend Shawnelle was in town! Shawnelle and I met in Germany about six years ago when we worked for the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort (that's where I met Anthony too!), and quickly became friends. I don't get to see her often since she lives in California, so when Shawnelle wanted to visit … Continue reading Matthews Winters Park Hike
Crawfish Boil
http://youtu.be/gz16YSpHL1c Sometimes, we get bored. Then when our landlady mentions there are a bunch of crawfish in the creek behind our house, we decide to go crawfishing and have a crawfish boil. Of course, we'd never done such a thing before, but thankfully, lots of people on the internet have! We walked down the creek with … Continue reading Crawfish Boil
Ptarmigan Lake
http://youtu.be/hRzyvcDyYXY A few weeks ago, Anthony and I headed out to Ptarmigan Lake near Buena Vista, Colorado. Apparently there's another Ptarmigan Lake up near Estes Park, but we haven't been to that one yet! Anyhow, I had started off the day in a really bad mood--our upstairs neighbors are very loud and waking up to their … Continue reading Ptarmigan Lake
