Denver days

We decided that we'd been home for long enough and needed a quick escape so we hopped a flight to Denver on Friday morning. We stayed out in Parker, where we lived when we first move out West. Parker is home to my very favorite Chinese restaurant. We went there. A lot.

First stop? Cherry Village.

We were pretty beat from the early flight so we both worked a bit and then went out for a quick afternoon hike at the Bluffs.

Nice view!

Denver did not disappoint. It is just so pretty out here. We love it.

We were able to meet up with our dear friend Meg for dinner at, you guessed it, Cherry Village again. YUM!

Meg and Chinese food. It doesn't get much better!

We went to bed fairly early because we knew we had a lot of pack in the next day. We went for breakfast at an awesome place Meg told us about before heading out to hike.

So good!

It was a GORGEOUS day in Colorado. The sun was shining and the warmth felt amazing.

Happy hikers

VIEWS!

An open trail...my favorite! 

Still excited about the sunshine!

Ahh, a flat path! Lovely!

We did a pretty easy hike in the morning and then Jackson decided we needed more of a challenge. We hit up a near trail outside of Morrison and got our butts kicked by a trail that never stopped going up!!

We made it back to Denver in time to get a late lunch/early dinner at Tropical Smoothie. I tell you what, they've got all my favorite foods out here anymore! We enjoyed checking out all of the new developments in our old neighborhood and called it an early night.
