Colorado trip

While Jeremy was on his motorcycle trip the first part of the month, I headed to Colorado to see my family. Friday night I got in about 7:15 and my mom and I hit the mall. we went to New York & Company, one our favorite stores. We did some damage there and then headed home. We were going to go out that night, but we were both so exhausted that we just went home and relaxed and went to bed.
The next morning, we woke up early and went to get pedicures and manicures, we went to Kohl's ( I was on a mission to find a new swim suit), the outlet mall (to check out the Coach store), Lunch, JC Penny's, Casino, Dinner at Casino, then home. I didn't find a swim suit at Kohl's, but I did find 2 really cute shirts. At Coach, they were giving away 20% off coupons when you walked in the door, and it was good for all purchases. So, mom and I splurged and each bought a Coach bag. Mine was only $75. Expensive for a purse, but a great deal for a Coach bag. Then we had lunch, yummy gluten free pizza! Then we went to JC Penny, and I found 2 new bathing suits. It was nice, as I haven't bought a new one in a few years. Our trip to the casino was very eventful, we missed the turn on the way there, but quickly got back on track. We played the slot machines and after losing some money on them, we went to the craps table and watched. Mom used to play back in the day, but she was trying to remember all the rules as we sat there watching. We decided it was time to eat, so we put our name on the list for the buffet (all you can eat crab legs) and then watched some more craps. After we ate dinner, we went back to the craps table. Mom ended up playing some, while I just watched. I got carded 3 times while in the casino (flattering, but annoying).We then headed home, but on the way we stopped and had a drink at Ralph's (her boyfriend). We ended up laughing about something that happened earlier in the day, and we were both laughing so hard, we were crying.

Mom on the phone (what she does best)

Me, on our way home!

On Sunday, we had plans to go to lake Dillion with Ralph's family. They rented a pontoon boat for all 10 of us and we had it for about 4 hours. We got up, and got ready to head to Ralph's

We are ready to go in TBOW (the box on wheels)

All packed up and ready to go, we head to Ralph's house. His family arrives shortly after us and we follow Ralph into the mountains. Once we arrive, they get us situated on the boat and we head out for some fun on the lake

The weather was cool, but the view was amazing!!

So Beautiful

After a day on the lake, we stopped in a small town for some dinner. Dinner wasn't that great, but we did treat ourselves to homemade ice cream afterwards. What a long day!

Monday morning I went and got my hair done and then went to lunch with mom, Adam & Austin. After lunch, we went back to the house to relax. Even the dogs were exhausted

Foxy!!

I headed to the airport for my flight (which was delayed due to weather). We were supposed to leave about 8:45, but didn't end up leaving until 9:45 and landed about 12:15. By the time I got my bags, car and back home, it was about 1am. Bed time came about 2 and I was up again at 6:45. Not a lot of sleep for me!
All in all, I had a great time with my family. I hope to make another trip soon!!
