First weekend without kids

Luker and I had our first weekend without kids and man was it amazing.  We headed up to Crested Butte to camp, bike and spend one night in hotel while the kids stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Vernon.  It’s hard to believe it’s been 11 months since the two of us have gotten away together.  It’s been four years since we’d camped too.  Here are a few pics from the trip….

First night camping: AMAZING

 

Biking the 401. Holy hell, was I out of my element.

 

Drinks and dinner after biking: something I'm a little better at..

 

Honestly, the best part of the trip had to be the camping.  These days we take wonderful trips to places like Mexico, Hawaii and more.  But we didn’t always take these kinds of trips.  We used to camp every weekend when we were in college and just after.  It definitely reminded me that we don’t need to do fancy things to have fun.  In some ways, the less fluffy the better.  What a wonderful weekend away….
