So if any of you have ever driven on I-80 (that turns into I-76) west through Nebraska and into Colorado the sign that greets you at the border is "Welcome to Colorful Colorado". Except it's hilarious because it's the least colorful part of the state and kind of brown and really boring.
But only if you've driven it before. If you plan on visiting us and you need to take this road it's so beautiful and scenic and the sign just doesn't do the state justice.
Anyways, one of our New Year's resolutions was to make it up to the mountains at least once a month. Because they're mountains, we live here, and they are beautiful.
Especially in fall.
We drove this scenic route.

We only thought we were lost for half of the drive. And I was kind of freaking out because that's what I do best. And it turns out this road takes you over quite a few mountains, including taking you over Independence Pass which was thankfully still open.
After discovering we most likely weren't lost and would indeed actually make it to Aspen before the week was over we enjoyed our drive tremendously. It was slightly cloudly yesterday but it made the yellows and oranges of the Aspen trees even more brilliant.

Eventually I just stopped taking pictures because it was impossible to catch the gorgeous trees in front of my face and the snow capped mountains peaking out behind them. It was a drive we never wanted to end.
Everything about it was relaxing [except for the momentary moments when we thought we maybe were driving to the Netherlands] and it was a great day-cation.
We briefly stopped in Aspen for a bite to eat (no celebrity sightings unfortunately). I then proceeded to spend our entire checking account on a pair of shoes.
Just joking. But can you imagine?
P.S. If you can imagine, and are looking for a personal assistant or would like to give career advice because your company is hiring please contact me using the tab above. Mmmkay? Thanks.

We decided to go back the 'easy' way and took I-70 through Glenwood Springs and back to Denver. Still breathtaking views but we were glad we took the scenic route up. Pretty soon it will be skiiing season and all of these sleepy towns with the hoppin'.
Can't wait to go back!
