Last weekend we went to Ouray, Colorado by ourselves. Ouray is a tiny mountain town about two hours south of us. It’s claim to fame is it’s hot springs pool and it is also pretty close to Telluride. The hotel where we stayed is unique because it has it’s own hot springs hot tubs. It’s just several big wooden barrels stuck on the hillside, but SO NICE. The low was 19 degrees, but I could have sat under the stars in that hot tub all night. This is the hotel we stayed at on our honeymoon.

We ate dinner at a very nice Italian restaurant where the meals were $25/plate and up. Since we were in a mountain town, I don’t think I saw anyone there who wasn’t wearing jeans. For breakfast, we ate cinnamon rolls at a little bagel shop and then walked through the town (only a few blocks). Nothing is open this time of year so it was a short walk. We headed home and went shopping and to a movie, I think the last movie we saw in the theater was the last Matrix, so that was a treat too.

It it just SO nice to get a little break from our kids. It’s funny, I see Jim everyday, but sometimes I miss him so much. Taking this weekend away helped out a lot. I feel ready to start this week.

**A few scarf swap things, don’t forget to send your postage paid envelope. Also, don’t forget to label each square with your name, those of you who forgot, I’ll take care of it. I’m getting excited to see the finished result. I got the best job in this swap, because I get to see each square.

Finally, I finished this herringbone scarf for a friends birthday. I LOVE manos del uruguay!!!! It’s so beautiful! I think that it’s my new favorite yarn.
