Josh and I had the treat of going to Denver, CO for a long weekend last weekend. Last year we were bumped from our flight and received free tickets, so we decided to fly to Denver. It is a blessing for us to get away for a few days when we come to Michigan. The kids love staying with family, our families love having time with them, and Josh and I love having time together. So it is a win, win situation for all!

 

Josh and I had fun exploring the area. We really like the mountains. We drove around the first afternoon in the mountains taking in the heights, small towns, and snow. We took a beautiful walk in the snowy woods. It was so peaceful. We also went up to Rocky Mountain National Park. It was a blustery winter day up there. We also did something crazy for us and went to the Broncos game. We didn’t have tickets till about five hours before the game - which we got on Craig’s List, that was a bit risky. It was a really fun experience to be at an NFL game. We were in the 11 row so that made it fun too. We saw my favorite quarterback Peyton Manning so that was cool. Over all we decided it was a once and a life time thing for us. The money involved and all people put into it is crazy. Oh, another highlight was when we got our economy rental car and they were out of them so we could pick anything to drive - from a Mustang to a SUV! We decided on a truck since we were in Denver and would be in the mountains. Going away together is always special. I love all the uninterrupted time together, no schedule, relaxing, laughing, and being romantic. I thank God for our get away.

 

The kids stayed with their Uncle Chad and Aunt Katie (Josh’s sister). They had a great time too. I am glad they were able to spend such special time together and make memories too. Katie said they are such good kids and she missed them already. I am so proud of our kids.
