Vacation Day 4
My 36th Birthday! What an awesome day!
- Jeff made an incredible breakfast of biscuits and eggs.
- Spent the morning cuddling with my boys and reading with John.
- Drove up Castle Creek Canyon for lunch at the Pine Creek Cookhouse. A stop everyone should make while in Aspen. It was chilly, but I was surrounded by both an amazing view and my favorite people.
- A stop in Aspen for a walk, a journey to the Explorer Bookstore (found some awesome new reads), and Heron Park. Jeff was incredibly bummed that John had no interest in building a dam in the stream at the park.
- A nice afternoon nap - just enough time to feel refreshed.
- Laid in the hammock for the late afternoon and evening hours - Started a new book, worked on my list - 37 things to do in my 37th year, and cloud-watched with John.
- Received phone calls, texts and emails from some of my favorite people.
- Amazing dinner made by my hubby - steak, saute'd mushrooms and onions, and grilled asparagus. Appetizer was stuffed squash blossoms.
- Jeff had a cake made by a spectacular chef in Aspen. Quite possibly the best carrot cake I've ever tasted.
- Fun gifts received!
- Took an evening walk with Jeff.
- Ended the evening with a few rounds of bananagrams.
I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.

maybe the iced tea wasn't the greatest idea...it probably kept me a bit chillier.
