On Saturday, after awaking at 6:00 AM to drive to the high country to go downhill skiing, we hit INSANE traffic on I70 that prompted a turnaround back to Boulder (normally a little traffic wouldn't stop us, but it was at a complete standstill)...we decided to go cross country skiing instead. So, we packed up our lunch and heading up to the Indian Peaks Wilderness. Upon arrival, the snow was swirling in the blustery wind, and I was not too excited to hit the trail - between the snow, wind, and feeling really weak, I was not interested in doing a 7 mile ski! However, I'm glad I stuck it out because it was really beautiful. The snow fell lightly once in the trees, and it was warmish and calm. We stopped for a lunch of leftover homemade pizza and hot cocoa with peppermint schnaps, which made the trail all the more fun! :) That night we finally made it to Mountain Sun, and Sarah drank her very first beer that she had all to herself! I sure do love that place!
On Sunday, we got up early again to drive Tim to the airport so he could leave for his business trip. I am grateful that Sarah is here so I have some company while he is gone (although I still really miss him!). We then got to have a really fun girls day together, which was really wonderful. I am blessed to have such a fun sister in law to laugh and talk with. We started our day by heading to a church in Boulder, All Souls, that Sarah found...it is within walking distance from our apartment, and it was a lovely day, so we walked on over there (more on church later). After church, we headed to Brasserie Ten Ten, which is a yummy place to get brunch and mimosas! Then we headed to the Celestial Seasonings Factory, which is a great place to go if you are ever in the area and like tea! We sampled teas, took the tour, and stocked up on our favorites. We then rented a *terrible* movie, and had a delicious spread of food and champagne for dinner. After dinner, we made oatmeal, honey, and avocado masks and relaxed on the couch with cucumber slices on our eyes. It was the best girls day!
This week my mom is coming into town for the Snow Show in Denver...I'm super excited to see her and check out the show!
I'm also super excited for my hubby to come home :)
And now some photos:
Our yummy dinner
The makings of the face mask
The result
Yum! hehe
The mask actually DID taste good, not that I'd eat it as a meal but I couldn't avoid it dropping into my mouth.
