Colorado, my second home away from home. I start my blog here, because I have been here my entire summer...so why the hell not? I have transitioned myself from being a Southern Cali OC beach girl into a back woods, granola cruncher, bear wrangling moutain woman. Well, not quite, but I am hiking at elevations higher than sea-level...like 11,500 feet! Yeah, that's right!
It's been wonderful spending this past month here in Denver at Grandma Rita's house with my awesome parents. I will miss them dearly when I travel abroad to Germany.Thank God for Skype! Seriously, technology is no longer my enemy. I will miss my baby girl Ruby....she is a perfect angel sent straight to me from God. That's right, we were destined to be together. Here is a picture of perfection itself.
Okay so I should have been cast in the movie "Best in Show" with my psychotic obsession with my dog, but I can't help it...look at her!
Lets recap on Colorado....
My brothers and I traveled to Colorado to visit the parents and my gigantic family of twenty-seven cousins and seven aunts and uncles as well as my sweet/witty grandma Rita.
The whole fam including my brother's girlfriend and sister-in-law traveled to Mt. Princeton for some moutain spring action, hiking, and horseback riding. I happened to have fallen in love with our horseback trail instructor named Cowboy Bill. It was a brief attraction I had for him, but for that hour of trail riding, it was magical.
Since our Mt. Princeton endeavor, I've been hiking mountains with various cousins at elevations of over 11,500 ft, eating at the best breakfast joint "Snooze," going to the Rockies game, drinking mass amounts of beer, and taking my friends from Cali to Vail where we continued to experience the most beautiful mountain ranges any of us have experienced.
