Denver!

Sorry this blog is so late, but we've been busy! Jan 8-11th we visited Denver, CO for Ed's ASCE Young Member's Conference. Kristin spent some time relaxing at the Bed and Breakfast (Queen Anne's) while Ed was busy learning how to be young leader! We enjoyed some really great local food based on recommendations from our Inn Keepers and had a lot of fun. The Bed and Breakfast was "green" and featured all sorts of interesting components - sustainably harvested wood for bed frames and tables, an all local foods breakfast, local Colorado wine tasting at 6pm, and many more. One of my favorite things was the Lavender Lemon Cookies throughout the day! They were so yummy! I got the recipe and even bought some lavender buds at a Denver spice shop! I've already made them for Ed and I's offices, although they came out much smaller than expected.

Below are some pics from the bed and breakfast:



On Sunday, before we flew home, we drove up to Estes Park and one of the entrances to the Rocky Mountain National Park - it was gorgeous!!! Below are some pictures from RMNP and Estes Park:
