A Mile High

Ben and I just returned from a fabulous mini getaway in Denver. He was there all week for a conference, and I flew out Thursday night so that we could enjoy a long weekend vacation together. Friday had us exploring the city (downtown and the Botanical Gardens) and meeting up with an old friend for dinner. We were up early to head out to the Rocky Mountains for a day hike on Saturday and a scenic drive on Sunday. Even though the weather was warm in the city, fall is definitely starting in the mountains. The aspens were yellow, there was the occasional thunderstorm, and the elk were down in the meadow. Everything was just beautiful. It was a nice, relaxing weekend.This picture is of Cub Lake, where we hiked to and enjoyed lunch at on Saturday. I’ll get the rest of the pictures posted soon!
