Road trip

Emily and I took a road trip last weekend. We had first planned to go to Aspen from her place in Littleton, to see the changing colors. Then we found out it was a 4 hour trip just to get there. So we decided to head South instead, since she'd heard reports that the colors were better down there anyway. We ended up in Manitou Springs/Garden of the Gods. We didn't see many trees changing color, but the weather was beautiful and there were pretty flowers instead. We packed a lunch before we left, and stopped in the Garden of the Gods to take in some fresh air and PB&Js. We plan to head back to the mountains some time in October to look for more color.

It was great getting to hang out with Emily for the whole day. The night before we went to Champps for dinner, and then did a little shopping and finished the night seeing "The Black Dahlia", which we were later informed by a lady after the show was "very poorly written." Made us both a little curious to find out just what the whole thing was really about! Definitely a great weekend! :)
