Rocky Mountain High

Justin and I enjoyed last week on vacation. We spent a few days in MN with his family celebrating Father's Day, getting in a run with sister-in-law Cori Ann before her Grandma's Half Marthon (way to go, Cori!!), shopping, visiting with siblings, etc.! We then spent a few days in Littleton, CO with friends Abby and Paul. They live on the Denver Seminary with Paul attending school and working at Lowe's and Abby a Physical Therapist in Aurora. We had a fantastic time!

Some highlights including catching up and getting to know Paul better, riding on the trails near the seminary, hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park, shopping at St. Nick's Warehouse where we found some great deals--anyone ready to decorate for Christmas yet? Oh, just me?? We also enjoyed seeing downtown Denver and watching a few movies together over warm brownies and ice cream. Below are a few (okay, several) photos of our fun getaway. The beauty of the mountains. Deedra at Union Station.
Justin in Rocky Mountain National Park. Isn't he cute?
More nature beauty in the park. On the bike trail near the seminary.

Abby and Paul Eating lunch in Estes Park before the hiking begins. No words can even describe this sight! Fly fisherman in the park. I could seriously hear John Denver singing "Rocky Mountain High" almost the whole time we were in the Rockies! I'm usually not one for PDA!

On our last night, we spent some time at the local pet store. It broke my heart to leave this guy behind!
