What. A. Day!
It was our last day to ski and we wanted to make the most of it so we were up early again and out the door right after a hearty breakfast of course 
Just a simple yogurt bowl this morning – it’s one thing I know I can always count on to keep me full for hours.
Into the bowl went:
0% Greek yogurt
Sliced strawberries
Fruit & Nut granola
Spoonful of melted peanut butter (so that I could pour it over the yogurt…plus, the warm nut butter on top of the cold yogurt makes it taste almost like ice cream!)
Coffee on the side of course:
Then we hit the slopes!
It was nearly 4pm by the time we even looked at our watches! I guess my breakfast really did do the trick!
A stop for a little heat by the fire…
Then we grabbed hot chocolates to warm up:
It literally snowed ALL day long. It was awesome.
Since we missed lunch, we headed out to an early dinner at Empire Burger:
House salad, turkey burger (which I ordered with guacamole and they gave me bacon too!) and french fries with honey mustard dipping sauce.
Licked clean.
Tasted like the best thing I’d ever eaten.
We say goodbye early tomorrow morning and BOY oh BOY am I going to miss this place!

But I LOVE snow and it looks like another fabulous day!
Boo! I fixed them so hopefully they’re showing for you now!
Welllll, then you’ll just have to move out here. Easy solution.
(Also, I love your red pants!!)
I agree!! (and thank you!)
I couldn’t see all the pics, but what I did see is awesome! Have fun
So strange how that happened. They should be fixed now so hopefully you can see them!
I’m not even that big of a burger fan, but man, that looks delicious!
Haha – it definitely was!
You look adorable in your winter gear!
Aw thanks Claire!
I am so jealous! Colorado is so peaceful and beautiful…add some fresh snow and it is even better!
I agree – it’s definitely one of my favorite places I’ve ever been! And the fresh snow didn’t hurt one bit
I made a stack of dark chocolate bran waffles and topped them with strawberry cottage cheese and fresh sliced strawberries for bfast this morning and I thought of you! Your beautiful bfasts were my inspiration
P.S. Happy VDay!!!
Yummmmmm!! That sounds incredible! And I love that it made you think of me!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you too!

I couldn’t see all the pics either but I do love the one of you by the fire!
Looks like a great place!
Thank you! And sorry about the pictures not showing up! I fixed them so hopefully you can see them now!
These pics are so wonderful that I just read through all your Colorado posts twice! Such a beautiful state. I always say that the mountains make my heart feel full!
Oh yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
And I COMPLETELY agree with your take on the mountains! I think I said that exact thing while there!
I love your red pants, too Cait! are you going to BLEND retreat? wish I was!!!!!!!!!!
I am going!! Wish you were as well!!
What a beautiful place!! I’m so glad y’all have had fun!
Thanks Ashley!
Those fries look fantastic! (Can you tell it’s been too long since I’ve had really awesome fries.)
I know getaways are supposed to be restful, but I always get up early on vacation. I’m too scared of missing something good.
Hahah I’m the EXACT same way! I try to make every 3rd vacation relaxing, adventurous vacations are just too fun to pass up!
And yeah – you need a good fry every once in a while!! These were actually incredible.
Hey Cait,
I had to check it out and I’m so glad I did. I absolutely love your blog. So nice to meet you girl.
Someone linked your site on my post and said that you and I have similar tastes, especially in our cereal bowls.
Aw I love it! Nice to meet you too! I’m heading over to check out your blog now!
