Beautiful Colorado

{Way to go Jen!}

Groovy Girl and I just returned today from a week long road trip to Colorado.  We cheered my friend Jen on as she ran her first half marathon.  She is gearing up to run the Chicago Marathon in October and she looked so calm during the race that I think she is going to be ready!

This year we did not make it any farther than Denver but had lots of fun in the city.  We ate mussels at Le Central, had margaritas on a patio, and had lots of dinners together with family and friends.

Enjoy these few photos as I head to bed.  Not only are road trips harder as you get older but I have to be ready to celebrate my 51st birthday tomorrow.  I know breakfast in bed is coming early as I have a board retreat for a foundation I am working with from 8-12.  My husband and daughter have lots of fun activities planned for the day.
