Exploring Colorado

1. In-laws (NO, REALLY!)

2. Outdoors

3. My own bed

My parents-in-law flew into Denver last Thursday and stayed with Urban while my hubby and I were able to explore Colorado's beautiful outdoors in our VW.

I've been wanting to get up to Boulder for sometime now. I was a little disappointed, I was expecting a quaint, artsy town, but it was quite large with lots of sprawl. The historic area (pictured) was fun to walk however with this great independent book store.

See the quilt they had hanging? Can't find fault with a business that hangs a quilt!

I had the opportunity to visit a few quilt shops and will be posting pics of them within the next couple of days!
