Colorado 2015

In addition to Brince's surprise party, Laura Lyn planned him a fun trip to ski in Colorado for 5 days, and we were lucky enough to be invited along with them! 

After we landed in Denver, got our rental car, and headed to Copper Mountain (where we'd be staying for the next 5 days), we met one of our friends Ric for a late lunch! 

Ric and his wife Joy live in Denver where he's an attorney and she's an RN. We loved hearing all about the CO lifestyle and how much fun they've had while living in Denver. I would love to go visit in the summer time to hike, camp, and bike. 

So fun to see GA friends! 

Monday was our first ski day, and we were excited to have fresh snow and a rainbow! 

The views from the lifts were incredible. We had awesome visibility all week long. 

That night, we headed into Breckenridge (about 30 minutes from us) for a drink and dinner. 

It was such a cute town! 

Dinner at Briar Rose Chophouse was so good! We loved the menu and had a great time. 

Tuesday was a great ski day too, and there were nothing blue skies. 

Later that night, we scooted to Frisco (about 15 minutes from us) for a drink at the Boatyard and dinner at Vinny's. 

My college friend and post-college roomie Meghan lives in Denver, and I was so excited to have her come to dinner with us! Meghan and I graduated from the Furnishings and Interiors program at UGA, and she's now working for Schumacher in Denver. Fun job! 

Vinny's was wonderful and our company was awesome! I loved hearing her perspective on how the lifestyle is different from the south, her job, and her friends. 

Wednesday, our last ski day, was extraordinarily gorgeous, and we skied until they shut our lifts down! 

We made it to the top of the mountain a few times (it was a nice, long run from the top), and had a ball taking in the scenery and taking lots of pics too! 

Here's my cute hubs about to start down the mountain

The birthday boy! 

Brince and Laura Lyn - she planned such a fun trip! 

Later that night, we headed to Vail (about 20 minutes) to have dinner with our friends Colby and Jamie at Up The Creek - awesome dinner and loved our company! 

They were in town with Jamie's family to ski for the long weekend. 

Thursday brought our trip to an end, and we were sad to leave Colorado! 

But we were super happy to arrive home to our little man! 

Here he is all bundled up - I think we brought the cold weather home with us!
