Dave and I had an awesome week in Telluride, CO for our 14th anniversary celebration. We had originally planned a bigger adventure overseas but felt overwhelmed with the planning after returning from our summer adventure, so picked something stateside where we could hike and unwind. Telluride was slightly challenging to get to, a flight into Durango followed by a 2+ hour drive, but it was so worth it. We spent our mornings hiking (we happened to hit peek autumn colors, mega win), followed by long lunches, and every afternoon by the pool reading, snoozing, talking. Some of our favorite restaurants were The Butcher and the Baker, Siam's Talay Grill for Thai, Wood Ear for whisky and ramen, Brown Dog Pizzeria, and Uno Dos Tres Tacos and Tequila for tacos. We stayed at the Madeline Inn in Mountain Village just over the mountain top from Telluride and loved that the free public transportation option was a gondola. We ventured into Ouray for a day and hiked the city perimeter trail which was strenuous but rewarding. We mostly appreciate the time together to simply get away from the daily grind and the many directions we are pulled. Until next time!

We did it backwards so saved the hardest of the end.
Exhausting but beautiful. |
