A Visit From the West!

When I moved to California, I made it an adventure. I'd go exploring by myself much of the time, and other times with great friends. In the two years I lived in the Bay, I saw and experienced more than many of my friends who have lived in the Bay their entire lives.

When I made the decision to move back, I distinctly remember telling my dear friend Jessica the things I was going to do differently this time around in Colorado. One of which was making it an adventure. There is so much of Western Colorado I have never seen: Aspen (2.5 hours away), Ouray (2 hours away), Durango, Ridgeway, Telluride (3 hours away...have only been there once). This really is quite embarrassing to admit.

Before I left California, Meggs booked a trip out to visit as that was the only way either of us could cope with the thought of being away from each other. So she came out for a long weekend in February. We went wine tasting, had dinner with one of my best friends and her husband, then went on an adventure to Ouray, CO, which was probably one of my favorite days ever.

Here are a few pictures from Megan's venture East... I forgot just how beautiful Colorado is winter, spring, summer and fall.

Literally the first order of business upon Meggs' arrival... visit Mike the Headless Chicken!

Love the new post :) and I hope you can keep up the adventure...few can keep pace with Jessica, tho...she's always on the go. Perhaps #2 will slow her down a bit, probably not!

We're still talking about riding thru your neck of the woods. Ouray in particular.

Missing you!
