July 2011: Colorado Bound again!

 Chelsey & David. Mt Evans, Colorado

In July Jesse and I took a trip back to Colorado with my brother and his then girlfriend Chelsey. Dave had been planning to pop the question and wanted to do it somewhere special. I suggested Mt Evans for it's beauty and relative closeness to Denver. I think this picture speaks for itself. Besides being windy it was a beautiful day and of course she said Yes. They're planning their nuptials for sometime next August.

My 2nd Bridal Shower of sorts was held in Colorado that same weekend as well. I invited several girl friends out to a spa day at one of my favorite places Moonedance Botanicals. We had a foot spa party, with champagne spritzers, fancy cheese & crackers, and delicious gourmet cupcakes (courtesy of a groupon I purchased months earlier). It was a good day and it was great to see all the ladies who could actually make it.

 The big reason for the trip to Colorado was a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater. One of David's favorite bands, The Avett Brothers, were preforming so we had to be there. When I had originally told David about this we thought we would still be living in Denver, but things change so it became a weekend retreat for all of us and we stayed in hotels rather than our old apartment. Jesse spent the night out with his old band mates while Dave, Chels, and I checked out the show. If you've never heard of The Avett Brothers you should definitely follow the link and check them out. They put on a great show.

 Denton and Fiona enjoying their treats!

Of course a trip to Colorado isn't complete with out a trip to the Jeong's house. Denton and Fiona have now met my parents and my brother. They were pretty excited to see us. They were even more excited by the treats we brought them. Their first Rock Candies ever! It was so nice of their parents to have us over for a delicious breakfast before we hit the road again back to Iowa, especially because it was Denton's birthday weekend and they were busy enough with out entertaining us. Thanks guys!

It was a whirlwind of a trip, but I'm so glad we did it. It was great getting to see everyone again, celebrating an engagement, celebrating a birthday, and seeing an awesome concert in the beautiful Red Rocks Amphitheater.
