Back from a fabulous long weekend

 We had such a wonderful time in Boulder with Nick, and also got to see my BFF & her daughter. It's also a rarity to get the four of us all together in one place, and Sam & Nick hung out a lot as well. Sam stayed in Nick's apartment (way cooler than hanging with mom & dad), & it was just such a great time all around. Not every trip is like that, so soaking it all in. 

We went to two frat parties, the football game, took Nick shopping for his apartment items (no toilet bowl cleaner/brush - which I rectified!), groceries, and some additional climbing gear. We took a couple of his friends to lunch, and heard all about college life. 

We also met up with my BFF & her daughter for an absolutely stunning hike at Rocky Mountain National Park. The photos don't do it justice, but we hiked up to a few alpine lakes, and the water was a gorgeous turquoise color. So beautiful. I definitely need to go back for more time at RMNP, especially as M was back at the hotel working, and missed out on the hike.


Already missing my wild child, but he will be back soon enough for Thanksgiving.

  1. So terrific when our adult chikdren grow to be friends. Your weekend sounds perfect. I laughed at the no toilet brush. I stopped at my sons...he has two, but still no toilet paper holder. I tbink it jyst slips his brain when in stores that would carry. I think he's hesitant to install one into the wall. He's not handyman material, hence why condo living suits him.

  2. Lovely post - your joy is palpable. You are doing such a wonderful job of soaking in this part of your sons' respective journeys into adulthood, and it will be the glue that holds you all together in the years ahead.

    My older daughter lived in Boulder for a few years post law school, and we so enjoyed visiting. It's such a great town, and doesn't everybody look so fit and active in general? I loved seeing that!
