colorado leaves

I've been kinda lame about blogging lately but I will resume next week when we get back from Colorado. David and I are celebrating an early anniversary in the beautiful fall leaves (if there are any yet) in Breckenridge, Vail and Crested Butte. I can wait to soak in the hot springs, go fly fishing and be in nature with my main man. If anyone has restaurant recommendations, let's hear them! Yelp and Trip Advisor have been sadly failing me. Anyway, I leave you with this cute picture of Fritz who stole my glasses yesterday and was walking around with them, slipping off his little nose.

  2. In Vail I highly recommend the Hungarian Goulash at Pepes in the Village... It's is amazing! I also love Elways in Vail, though its pricey. BUT you can share the Lamb Chops with Roasted brussel sprouts with a side salad..it s plenty of food. Breck is mostly resort style foods. The Butte has some great places but its been a few years...

    The leaves are just turning so you picked a good weekend to come!

  3. I know it is a bit of a drive but if you have the time you have to drive up to Glenwood Springs CO. it is an amazing little town and one of the best meals you will have is at Juicy Lucy's steakhouse http://juicylucyssteakhouse.com. It is SO worth the drive to walk the town and have an amazing meal.
    If you go- try to get there a bit on the early side for dinner- it fills up fast- it's that good:):)
    (just becareful with the cherry's they put on top of the deserets- they are soaked in brandy- I had to go home and talk to the bishop- :):)

    Here is a little travel note about the drive:

    Interstate 70 thru Glenwood Canyon

    The original VistaDome train cars of the California Zephyr were created to view scenic Glenwood Canyon. Today one can view Glenwood Canyon from the elevated Interstate 70 that winds along the course of the Colorado River. The canyon starts west of Vail, Colorado and ends at historic Glenwood Springs. One can see the raging Colorado River in spring and peaceful snow-covered canyon walls in winter. After the drive, one can soak in the world-renowned Glenwood Hot Springs. Wild West history buffs can hike in search of Doc Holiday's gravesite.
