Our 15th Year Wedding Anniversary...

I know most of our posts are about Isabella but thought I would post a few pics from our little anniversary getaway. Since our 19 y/o niece is living with us now, she graciously agreed to watch Isabella for a couple nights so we could celebrate our 15th year. It was the first time mommy was going to be away from Isabella and was a little anxious at first. But once we got away and on our own, it was so nice. We left on Wednesday, March 25 and drove about 2 hours into the mountains to Estes Park. We stayed 2 nights at the Stanley Hotel. We definitely missed our little girl but we also enjoyed the non-responsibility and no schedule for a couple days. Here are some pics.



















Our first night there. As you can see no snow....















This is what we woke up to Thursday morning (our actual anniversary). Denver was hit with a spring blizzard on the 26th and 27th of March. Here we are driving through the Rocky Mountain National Forest.





























Here are some elk huddled together trying to stay warm.















We decided to go for a hike on one of the trails. We should have rented snowshoes but were able to make it in hiking boots. It was absolutely beautiful!





























Here are some elk laying beside the road by our hotel.

The evening of our anniversary. We found this really neat place on the main strip in Estes called Wine & Cheese. We actually came here Wednesday and Thursday night. The atmosphere was awesome. We will definitely go back.
