Two of the last three weekends, we have been fortunate to spend time in the mountains (with free lodging!). Thanks to two different sets of friends, we spent time in Keystone and Leadville. I really enjoy the mountains in the summer: less people, beautiful hikes, and mountain towns great for walking and relaxing.
In Leadville, we enjoyed hiking, S'mores, boys in the paddle boat, and drinking and catching up with friends. In Keystone, we enjoyed eating out, pool time (T-man willingly jumped in to Marshall and put his face under water multiple times), mini-golf, and drinking and hanging out with friends. Do I sense a theme here? Such different trips, but things are always more relaxed when you are away from home. The laundry, the dishes, and all the other tasks that need to be done aren't hanging over you when you are on vacation. We're just so extremely lucky to be able to have such amazing places for our weekend get-a-ways.
On our way back from Keystone this weekend, my youngest fell asleep right when we got to Denver (around 5:20). He woke up about 5 minutes after we got home and then fell asleep on the couch until 7:30. We just decided to put him to bed at that time and he slept until 8:00 this morning. Apparently, the mountains can also be exhausting.
