Colorado, by instagram.

Colorado was a hard trip.  It was long, physically taxing, and the air was so darn dry, we woke up choking on dry throats and regularly found ourselves with bloody noses.  Gross, I know, but that was how the week felt.  I love Colorado for sure, but gosh, winter air there can do a number on a girl's body!  Below are a few instagram shots we took throughout the week.

Our first night in Denver.  Emily + I were freezing.

Emily + Jen under the lights of Larimer Street in Denver.


Jen, myself, Meredith, and Emily after a fantastic sushi dinner in Denver.

Small town Colorado living in Fort Collins.


The gorgeous view in Aspen.

I met a gal with the quirkiest tattoo, and I was totally obsessed with how cool it was.  "Dear God, I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday.  That was cool."

 
The view from Happy Hour in Aspen on Thursday night.

Me and an Aspen bear, like the photo I posed in four years ago (as seen here).

Also, we had some amazing culinary experiences the entire week.  If you ever find yourself in any of these towns, I seriously recommend the following:

Denver
Rioja
Sushi Sasa

Linger

Aspen
Campo de Fiori
