9 years and still going strong

Happy 9 year anniversary to us!!! Our anniversary was on June 2 but we decided to wait to celebrate until we were in the Rocky Mountains last week. Mimi and Dow kept the kids for an entire day (we haven't had a whole day together in a very very long time--18 months to be exact). It was great. We did a wonderful hike up to Locke Lake and then went to a wine tasting and ended the night with a fancy dinner at the Stanley Hotel (from the Shinning). It was wonderful and kid free!

How can you not love the Rockies?? And check out all the snow!

Good thing we could follow other footprints because the snow was really deep (here is the trail marker, normally up to my eyes)

Here we are at our lunch spot on the lake which was still partly frozen

This is my favorite picture---oh take me back!

And nothing says bad wine like Estes Park winery---oh well we still enjoyed it!
