Road trip to Colorado. Part I.

I did a little traveling over the summer by myself for work and I figured out I love to travel alone. I mean I love having my babe by my side or my favorite girlfriends, but sometimes traveling alone is the perfect time to think, and you get to do your own thing.  

I planned a road trip to Colorado to visit some friends who live outside of the Denver area. I set off on my journey last Wednesday and returned Tuesday.

So maybe an eight hour road trip (each way I might add) wasn't the best trip to do alone. Boredom kicked in pretty quick! 

My first stop was to visit Lee, Jessica and baby Tristan in Thornton. It had been two years since I'd seen them last (at their wedding), and was my first time to meet little Tristan. He's an absolute doll and melted my heart! Here he is at dinner the first night. 

Now if you knew Lee and I about 7-8 years ago, we were attached at the hip. He was my best friend, and will always be my go-to buddy no mater how far we're apart. We've always stayed in touch and can pick up where we left off when we randomly call/text each other. It was so great to see him grown up and he's such an amazing father and husband.

My two-day visit was wonderful and was great to catch up with the Mohon family. I miss them already! 

On Thursday, I headed to Boulder for the day to hang out with one of my favorite gals, Audra. We spent the afternoon on Pearl Street browsing cute, quaint shops and stopped for lunch at Boulder Cafe. It was such a neat college town with a great atmosphere.

This was some of my view on the way there - so beautiful!

Be sure to look for a continuation of my road trip tomorrow with part II.
