Colorado & Other Shenanigans

(Ashleigh here):

I'm playing some major catch up this weekend and quickly realized, we never blogged our Colorado trip! It's been an insane sprint since we got back (I promise we'll fill you in on all of the good stuff happening very soon!)

Adam and I packed our bags and headed to snowy Keystone, CO at the beginning of February to spend some time with a portion of my family and enjoyed skiing, the sites and each others company. Despite Adam not being able to ski, both he and I were truly surprised how much he was able to relax, enjoy himself and get in some good rest. - Adam has been sprinting for a good 12 months and hasn't had a getaway... so needless to say, this was much deserved. ;)

Enjoying our time in beautiful Keystone!

Me, Corley (my sister-in-law) and MP (my mom) at our BA Air'bnb in Keystone

We were blessed to spend time with my parents, my step-dad's daughters and hubby and my brother, Derrick and his wife, Corley flew out from NC to hang with the Midwesterners and "shred some nar"... (this is what the cool kids are saying)

Adam and I flew in a day early and hung out in Denver our first day.  Perfect weather, awesome customer-service upon check-in at our hotel (shoutout to Embassy Suites in Downtown Denver for the mad hookups!) and amazing food and naps. We were on a mission, RELAX. I honestly can say, every time we travel, we get better and better at it.  I love getting to travel with my best friend- he makes life so sweet.

From there, we met up with the family, grabbed some grub and headed out to the mountains for 3 days of skiing, hot tubbing and creating memories.  My mom picked out the sickest rental home up in Keystone, just minutes from the village. I am so appreciative of her organizational skills, she held it together for us this trip!

I'd recommend Keystone to anyone wanting a quick getaway. It's not a 'hoity-toity' ski area with good food, entertainment and isn't overcrowded (both in the village and on the slopes).  Check out some of the shots from our quick getaway and the VLOG we put together below.
