Colorado

Micah and I haven't taken a vacation with just our family since our Honeymoon so he came home from work one day and said lets go to Colorado! I was all about this idea, first of all because my husband has never suggested a vacation and second he served his mission there so I knew we would both enjoy it. First we stayed in Colorado Springs at a beautiful hotel called the Broadmoor. Our view was awesome. Everything about this place was awesome. It was right against the mountains. I loved staying there! If I could live at the Broadmoore I would live in Colorado Springs! We went to the Cheyenne Mountain zoo. You can get really close to the animals which was fun. Sadie fed a giraffe. She wasn't sure if she liked that or not.


Our view!!!

Happy after a long day at the zoo!

After Colorado Springs we went and stayed in Downtown Denver at this boutique hotel called Hotel Monaco. They put us in " the 60's artists suite"! We are talking beads, lava lamps and a giant peace sign! I thought it was so fabulous! Micah on the other hand was not expecting such a hippie room. He picked the hotel so there wasn't much grounds to argue. At this hotel they bring you a gold fish to be your pet during the stay. Sadie was over the moon about this! Of course we had to get her one as soon as we got home. I loved staying here, you could walk all over downtown to shops and restaurants. The city was so fun and surprisingly clean.




We went to the Denver art museum and the Natural Science museum . We tried to cram in all we could without me getting too winded being almost 5 months pregnant and all. It was a super fun trip . It was fun to see everywhere Micah lived on his mission and all the stories that went with it. I have a new appreciation for all he did there 7 years ago. Thanks for the fun vacation Love!!!
