The mountains are calling: our trip to Boulder

I know that many of you are so ready to be done with this winter.  But consider a different perspective (and please ignore the dust)…

  8. It’s so nice that you got to visit when the weather here was decent. I probably left town a few hours before you arrived. Nice pictures! I think you have a special attraction to ice.

  9. So beautiful! It’s great that you guys got to escape for a long weekend,
