aspen!!

friday morning daddy woke up and decided we should go to aspen! so we grabbed a few (hundred) things and took off. we stopped for lunch in vail, had a picnic in a park there and got to snowmass (where we'd found a nice, inexpensive hotel-- love recession travel!) by late afternoon.

we had a wonderful weekend just the three of us. we realized this was the first time we had spent several days just the three of us all day together. it was soooooo great! we had lots of park time, lounging and watching dogs and meeting friends, and we strolled around and ate yummy food (at kid-friendly establishments, kind of a different reality but oh well) and took long bike rides. a pretty perfect weekend.
