Our 3 year anniversary was August 5th. If someone would have told me what marriage was like before we did it...I would have done it a LONG time ago :) We took the weekend before our Anniversary to get away. On Friday night, we stayed in Denver (priceline motel for $37...gotta love it). We did a little shopping for me at Express, (Thanks, Courtney for the bday gift card!!) and had a scrumptious dinner at A&W.
Here Matt is packing up our stuff on Saturday morning before we head to Breckenridge for the rest of the weekend.

Then we headed to Breckendridge...but NOT before fueling up with an IHOP breakfast!
We went on a hike when we arrived that was on the outskirts of Breck.
Going up.
Pretty.
Tying my shoe!
My leader of 3 years.
Another nice view.
Yet, ANOTHER good view :)
Yay for 3 years.
This calls for a celebration.
Okay, okay. Enough already, I know!
Lake.
Wildflowers!
What we were hiking to reach...the waterfall!
By the falls.
Waterfalls in Matt's sunglasses.
Hiking back down.
McCullough Gulch Trail. Check!
We stayed at "The Lodge & Spa at Breckenridge" on Saturday night.
Funny story, actually. Here is the room we reserved: Windom Peak
Nice room. But not as nice as: Crestone Needle
You see, when we went in to our first room, we laid down on the bed, only to discover small black hairs all over our clothes...and upon further investigation, ALL over the bed and in the sheets! I went downstairs and kindly inquired as to whether or not they allowed dogs in their facility. Aha, yes they do, much to the housekeepers dismay. I kindly explained about what we discovered when laying on our bed. The concierge immediately offered up another room. A much nicer one, with a fireplace, seating, and a balcony...at no extra cost! Yes! I love it when things happen like this. :)
So here are some additional shots of our upgraded room!
The lobby of the lodge:
A place to play checkers! We will come back to this later.
Off to the hot tub to relax after our hike and room move.
Dining area on the way to the hot tub.
Hot tubs.
With a view!
Heading back inside.
Before leaving for dinner in downtown Breckenridge. Isn't he cute?
Downtown Breck.
Breck at night.
Town Square Mall...where we had pizza for dinner!
Back to the Lodge.
For some checkers :)
I am a little bit distraught here. I was doing so well...until I made a really bad move that cost me 3 checkers!
He looks a little cocky, doesn't he?
Obviously, he won.
Reading by the fireplace. We were exhausted!
Sunday morning.
Enjoying our continental breakfast. Matt loves breakfast juices.
Our balcony.
One last shot of our lodge as we head back to the Springs!
