Our Weekend

After it snowed on Friday, it was a beautiful weekend. Saturday, we took a trip "into town". That term reminds me of the olden days, but it used around here in Colorado. Living in Florida, we drove all over to different cities (Zellwood, Mt. Dora, Apopka, Orlando, Altamonte Springs, etc). Here in Arvada, everything is so close that "going into town" is a big deal. The town I am talking about is Denver, and it was only 20min away (haha).


Saturday we went to Denver to go to a store called R.E.I. (gift cards available online... holiday hint). After we shopped and bought Thomas some snow pants, we started walking down this nice trail that was in between a creek and rail road tracks. This path brought us to many must-see places in Denver (and some other fun photos).

We had some more time off on Sunday (not many birthday parties are booking right now), so we continued enjoying the outdoors. After a walk through the streets of Olde Town Arvada near our house (similar to downtown winter park but with a little more history and older shops), we went on a 7 mile bike ride to and from the gym. That ride was tough with 3 steep hills, and took us well over an hour and a half!

Sunday evening, we went over to the Roche's (our friends from West Palm Beach) house for dinner. It was sooo nice to see them (it had been 2 1/2 years)! Their house was something you would find in Baldwin Park. The kids seemed to remember us deep down, and were so excited to see us! We have already planned to do more things with the family, but it is still hard to believe that we live by them again here in Colorado. It'll be great, though!

Next weekend is pretty open, too. We will be making plans and keeping you posted when our adventures continue...
