over the mtns, through nederland co ↑ to lunch in boulder ↓
and home again ↓
how was your weekend peeps? we were very productive. 2 diy projects were checked off the list and i cannot wait to show you them tomorrow. totally smitten with ourselves and what we’ve done. (; plus the big biggie that is only waiting for me to get off my butt and get the post in order to show you, this week foh sho.
we also took a morning roadtrip and drove from edgewater, through the mountains, on a (why-do-i-forget-this-road-is-SO-curvy) loop going through some tee tiny towns and ending in boulder. skipped breakfast so we could indulge in vegan sandwich goodness from native foods (we first ate here in palm springs and hip hip hooray for one so close to us now!), of course i had the reuben. strolled the streets a little too full, then drove the back roads home again.
hung with the neighbors a little, cooked some crispy tofu (working on the perfect tastes-like-fried-chicken-but-it’s-tofu), finished season 7 of dexter and oh my. we love that show and are supremely disappointed that season 8 is the end. ); do you watch it? snow is on the forecast for tuesday, with heavy accumulation (according to weather.com), and i don’t think i need to spell out what i think about that _______.

this hike seemed innocent when we started and then.. we got a little bit further and started seeing specks. followed immediately by the sinking feeling that they were people and maybe, just maybe, we should not have hiked 9 miles prior to starting this hike.
the rock mountain you zig zag your way up is hot as blue blazes and goes on forever. we had flashbacks of ryan mountain in joshua tree. we hiked early’ish in the day (not early enough) and it was march, and only in the sixties, and it still felt like we were sitting on the sun. in the summer, forget about it. is it worth it, yes. and he said he didn’t need shorts that day, quit asking him, ha!

can you see me? ↑
we took a little off road adventure, a dirt road winding thru tall sand dunes and big views…
i don’t know how much is too much when it comes to travel pictures, i’m trying to keep it as concise as possible so we don’t turn into those people. we have two more hikes within arches that i just can’t not show you and we still have our visit to canyonlands. oof. are you worried? (; national parks are so amazing, to think that such vast and extreme beauty and landscapes are right outside our backdoors. we feel so lucky that most of our park visits (nationwide) have been like private tours, there have been so few visitors that it’s been like having the parks to ourselves; it’s definitely a perk if you can visit in the off-seasons (especially if you want photos).
is it warm and spring like where you are? it’s getting colder by the minute here and snow, snow and more snow is on the forecast for our days ahead. times like these i really miss the south. march means warm days and daffodils and nothing but sunshine on the horizon when you’re below the mason-dixon line. but i keep telling myself it also means mosquitos and humidity and sweating. all of which i will have none of come spring and summer in colorado. patience.

we’re home! moab was such a good little getaway, i’m sorting through our photos of arches, dead horse, and canyonland parks and will be sharing this week (get ready slideshow). todays photo’s are from our drive home, we had planned to stay in the mountains and soak in a hot springs but the weather forecast was rain and we decided to do a driving tour of towns along the way instead and get home while the sun was shining. we drove through telluride, ouray, montrose, gunnison (along black canyon national park), and salida. we loved seeing so much of colorado that was new to us, and we’re forever smitten with moab and the neverending beauty of utah….. and we were home just in time for the husbands favorite holiday.
