steamboat springs road trip.

1 of my best friends from college, Alicia, lives just outside of steamboat springs, CO in a Podunk town called Kremling. Luckily I was laid off a couple weeks ago, haha, and was able to take a trip with some friends and go visit her this week. I wasn't quite sick of my kids yet, since Erik & I left them just a month ago, but it was still a nice break.
Steamboat is a cute little ski town, like park city. It was BEAUTIFUL. I don't think I'd ever been to Colorado before. We drove there on Sunday, and relaxed in our condo & hot tub.
Monday we woke up and went hiking up to a waterfall.
Tuesday we went for a 6 mile run along a river trail then spent the day at the pool. We didn't realize how white we were, and spent a little too much time in the sun.
And in the evenings we went shopping down town and ate...a lot.

Alicia's flat butt was always hanging out so I couldn't resist talking this on our ride home

-I was able to expose them to some 30 Rock, which I'm sure they'll be eternally grateful for.
-Also, thanks to Scarlett, we were hit on more than once. Too bad they were toothless, redneck construction workers on most occasions.
