Anniversary trip

Dear hubby and I enjoyed a wonderful trip to Breckenridge Colorado for our 20th anniversary. The aspen were golden, the skies a crisp blue and the evergreens a deep green. It was the perfect time to visit! We stayed just a couple blocks from the downtown area of Breckenridge and we were within walking distance of several great restaurants and shops.

We took a walking history tour and it was enjoyable. The evening we enjoyed a wonderful meal with old friends of mine that dear hubby had not met before. The Colorado kids really have a lovely home right on the edge of a national forest. I was a dumb dumb and forgot to take pictures. I have not seen them for over 20 years so it was really cool to catch up and meet their kids.

We drove over Independence pass to Aspen one of the days. It was a lot of driving but well worth it with a lot of great sight seeing. Independence pass was a little scary as the switch backs and drop offs down the mountain are just as breath taking as the views!

On the West side of Independence pass is a ghost town and it was really fun to hike down to get a closer look at the old mining town.

The weather was perfect every day. My favorite kind of weather were you wear shorts and sweatshirts.

We hiked around the Maroon Bells, they were fabulous.

Each evening after we went out for dinner (it was so nice to not have to cook for almost an entire week!) we took a walk all around the residential areas of Breckenridge. There is a family of fox that live there and it was so cool to see how tame they appears. This lovely young fox posed for me.

We enjoyed the laid back vibe of Breckenridge and all of the hiking trails. We walked between 6 - 8 miles a day!

The water was crystal clear and you could almost reach out and touch the trout. Definitely making plans for Dear Hubby and Son to come back fly fishing next time!

We finished out the week with a lovely anniversary dinner at an Italian restaurant.
I am not sure how we will top this for our 25th anniversary but you can bet that we will come up with something!

Dear son did a wonderful job taking care of the dogs and the house while we were gone. Wrigley was loving every minute of the attention! It was hard to be on vacation without our kids and the first time in 20 years! I am blessed to have such a sweet loving husband that is also my best friend. Here is to the next 20 years!
