Anniversary Trip to Maroon Bells

Happy two year anniversary to me and Steve!


Like last year, we decided we would head out to Aspen for the weekend and go back to our wedding site :) Only this time, we had munchkin in tow!


The drive was T.E.R.R.I.B.L.E.  Julian was NOT having it. He fussed the entire 5 hour drive. Once we got to the hotel we tried to relax a little bit and have Julian nap. That night we walked up the steep hill to a German restaurant. It was completely empty inside - thank goodness - because Julian was a bear.


We grabbed breakfast the next morning and started the drive out to Maroon Bells. Julian was cooperating until we got through the gates at the park. Vomiting ensued. All over the car seat. Fabulous.  We cleaned him (and the car) up and decided to walk to the lake and snap a few pictures before going back to Snowmass.


The horse flies were insane, and it made us appreciate that there weren't big bugs at our wedding.


We finally saw a moose!


After a lot of pictures, we decided to head on back so we could wander around Snowmass Village and then have an early dinner.


We went to our favorite restaurant right when it opened to hopefully eat and get back out before it got too busy and Julian drew too much attention our way. We were barely successful. Once we got back to the hotel that night, Julian threw up more....and more and more. No one really got any sleep.


The drive back to Denver was even worse than the drive to Snowmass, but we survived. We were excited to get home since PawPaw and MawMaw were coming in town and we were going to have an early birthday celebration for Julian!













What a trip!
