Maroon Bells.

I still can't believe that we are already almost a month in to 2017! I still write the date wrong on just about every piece of paper. We've had some amazing weather here in Denver. It's great because Ella and the pups love to be outside which means that I can let all three of them run around in the backyard and tire themselves out while I sit and sip my coffee and work on this ol' blog.

Today's post has actually been sitting in my drafts since the fall. We made a trip out to Aspen and had the best time exploring the city. There are some amazing restaurants and shops there and we stayed at this adorable hotel called the Mountain Chalet. I have a little travel guide in the works but I wanted to show you guys some photos from my favorite part of our trip.

We really wanted to do some hiking while we were there and everyone that we asked told us that we HAD to see the Maroon Bells. I am so glad that we went! It was a relatively easy hike -partly because we didn't go the whole way up due to some time constraints (and our complete lack of fitness) and every aspect of it was completely beautiful! You drive up and the first thing you see is this beautiful lake completely surrounded by mountains. If you're ever in Aspen this is definitely a sight to see!

P.S. We absolutely LOVE our ERGOBABY360 for hikes! Ella loves to walk and is not crazy about being carried but she can chill in that thing forever and it distributes her weight perfectly so it's not all on my shoulders. Plus I never have to worry about losing her ;)
