Since Europe my first taste of travel outside of the rigors of school and work, work, and more work was to see my Big, Willie in Denver over Winter Break! She moved to the mile high city after graduation last May and I've only seen her once since. Her boyfriend, Nick, used some frequent flier miles to get me out there and I cannot stop thanking him! It was so good to see my Willie!On New Years I flew out and was greeted by the firey-redhead I've missed so much <3 She and Nick and their Seattle friend, Issac, introduced me to Pho. It was delicious but my favorite thing was the walk from the car to the Pho restaurant... THERE WAS SNOW ON THE GROUND!!! As an Atlanta-native I have to say that no matter the drop in temperature, no matter the shoveling, no matter the traffic... snow is always such a magical, welcomed occurrence.
We spent much of the time lounging about the apartment watching Mad Men (so good- god I want to be a Joan) and eating lots and lots of Pho but we did tourist-it-out a bit and wandered to Boulder's Flatirons, explored some nearby restaurants, took little Ellie out to play and then I got to experience a snowfall :) Oh happy, happy day.
Miss you, Mamabear. Miss you snow. Good to see you Colorado.
