a little place called aspen.


here's what you need to know: aspen is gorgeous!  from the sparkling snow coming down on the mountain to the beautiful spring day, it was all absolutely breathtaking.


{this beauty is where we stayed all week: the st regis aspen.}

{the porters!}

{the view from the hotel lobby: snow-covered mountains!}

{the fire pits also overlooking the mountains with the bro- & sis-in-law}

we definitely enjoyed an afternoon or two or three + a morning in the hot tub overlooking said beautiful snow-covered mountains.  oh, it was a perfect beginning, midday pause, or ending to the day.




oh, yeah!  did i mention there is skiing??  i'm not much into skiing anymore.  too much cold.  especially on the toes.  even with the fancy socks.  i will enjoy the day at the gym & spa & wonderful lunch spots & coffee shops & book stores & ...  no skiing necessary for me to enjoy the mountains.  {although, i did cave one day, which will be a post of its own... for you to look forward to very soon.}


it is super gorgeous in the evenings with a little snow in the background...

{on our way to one of many a.mazing dinners.
you know that is a post all its own too, my friends.}

by the end of our week, the snow stopped falling, the sun joined the party, & it was spring!  so the six of us enjoyed a warm morning walk around little aspen town.  we walked through the gorgeous historic & modern neighborhoods, picking out which seven-figure homes we could see ourselves living in.  {they were so pretty, but i'll take a warm location :)}

then we walked towards the river & the john denver sanctuary:






what a wonderful week.  check back in tomorrow & the next day & the next day for more!
