I've been inching through these photos from our last vacation, I know. 

It's been fun to go through them and to relive a little of these fun times. We will be heading on our next vacation this weekend, and I am soooo ready. 

Our main reason for going to Denver, Colorado was to see my friend, Jen. She had to work while we were we were out exploring the red rocks, but we were able to enjoy the sunset with her at sloan lake park. Jen is a very dear friend of mine, so I love seeing a little more of her world in Denver. It's weird being so far away, especially since we're so terrible at catching up on the phone. It didn't seem to matter when we finally got together, though. We had fun and stayed up talking just like we did in college. 

Sloan lake park had a beautiful view of both the mountains and the city.

Back in March we spend our week vacation in Arizona and Colorado. I shared most of the photos from Arizona and now we're on to Colorado! If you missed those posts, here is our itinerary, which has links to everything.

We were only in Colorado for a couple days, so we didn't have too much time to explore. On top of that, our flight was delayed. We got in very late and Ruby slept terribly, so we had very limited energy for our only full day there. We had big plans to see Garden of the Gods and to do some hiking. 

Instead, we slept in, had brunch, and rested. Once recouped and realizing we had limited daylight left, we set off to see what we could of Colorado's beautiful landscape. 

Jordan picked to see Red Rocks Amphitheater. It wasn't too far from where we were staying, so it was perfect. It was beautiful and there was a parking lot not too far from these awesome lookouts! :) 

We got really lucky again, being here right at golden hour, which is right before sunset. The red rocks really shined in the warm sun which made for lovely photos. I highly suggest a visit here, and look out for a good concert here as well! It's on our list to visit again.
