Well we didn’t bust…for my avid blog readers I thank you for your patience. I finally have caught up from my mid-season vacation. Every year my husband and I take a week off to recoup, re-energize, and refocus for the second half of the wedding season. We most always pick a music festival, pack the car, and head off for a weeks worth of camping. This year was no different. We headed out for a driving tour of Colorado (OK the breweries and great friends). Our trip started off in Boulder hitch hiking to the top of Boulder Creek and tubing down to the center of town – what a BLAST!! We then ventured out to Steamboat to catch up with one of our best friends Tara. The next day we continued our journey through the Poudre Canyon and nestled into Ft. Collins for the night. The rest of the week was spent camping in Lyons at the Rocky Grass Bluegrass Festival. With the stage at the edge of the foothills, it was quite the venue. While we were in Lyons we entered to win tickets to next year’s festival by competing in the “How Green is Your Grass – Green Campsite Challenge.” The contest was put on by the Leave No Trace Organization. By showing how clean and sustainable our campsite was, and making conscious decisions to reduce our carbon footprint…we were rewarded with the FIRST PRIZE!!! We were so excited!!! Well wow this was a long post so I will let you digest everything…here are some highlights from our trip:
