It was so absolutely wonderful to have a weekend away. We went up to Durango (one of my favorite little places to go) and stayed in a bed and breakfast 15 miles north of the town. I love how the road is not far from the cabin, but you feel like you are in the middle of the woods. We went back to town after checking in, had dinner at Steamworks and picked up a little treat at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.
The next day we tried to sleep in (why is that so difficult now?) We got up and had a delicious breakfast. After that we went on a 2 mile or so walk to Baker's bridge where Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was filmed. It was a beautiful outlook. We climbed down the rocks a bit and enjoyed the view.
After the walk back we changed into shorts and went to roam around downtown. We walked into random stores and visited a few of our favorites (Polo outlet and Brown's shoes). After a yummy bagel lunch we went to a running store where we spent at least an hour having Grant fitted for a shoes that is best suited for his running style. It was really to cool to witness the process and see how much difference a shoe can make! After finding the perfect shoe we headed back to the bead and breakfast where we laid down on the bed, read books in peace and tried to nap a little. We eventually got up to go to dinner at our favorite Durango place mmmm Red Snapper! We stopped for a minute to watch people in a park playing polo on bikes with make shift mallets...it was fun to watch. The next morning it was another fantastic breakfast and then home to reality. Oh what a wonderful weekend with my favorite person in the world...everyone should do it at least once a year!
