Our friends were married on top of Loveland Pass, two miles above sea level. The ceremony was as sweet as could be, and the newlyweds snowboarded down the mountain with about 30 friends--it really was awesome.
It was definitely a well-rounded trip. Time with Scott was pretty much limited to dinners, since he was riding all day and I was riding...well, not at all. I spent my time at a few local wineries with his parents, taking a scenic walk by myself, and chatting with friends.
And I decided this: Keystone, CO, where we spent most of our time, is not for me to live. It is for me to visit. I really enjoyed my visit--the mountains are unbelievable, and the weather is nicer than MN for the most part--but the frequently dangerous and/or closed roads and the general lack of Target/chain grocery stores/shopping malls are just not my style. However, Denver seems to be a different story. Much more "flat," way warmer (less snow), and more metropolitan. I will definitely keep Denver as an option to look into.
From beginning to end, I was away from Sophie for three and a half days. This was my fourth vacation away from her, ranging from one day at a wedding in MN to seven days in Hawaii. The separation definitely gets easier over time, and I'm not sure if it is because of practice...or the fact that she gets harder to spend time with as she gets older. We are currently living in Temper Tantrum Central, and I'm eager to move.
