Denver + Steamboat Springs, Colorado

As a child my family went to Colorado about every 4-5 years for a family reunion and I fell in love with the mountains and active lifestyle. The beauty that Colorado has is like nothing else I have seen. I have not attended a family reunion in Colorado in many years so I jumped at the chance when I heard there was one coming up. I am so glad that we decided to go, not only to see family but to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. This was Mike’s first time in Colorado and since he loves anything that has to do with hiking, biking and rafting I knew he would fall in love.

Our trip started in the Denver area. My Dad’s best friend lives near Denver so we were lucky enough to have a personal tour guide. Not only did he show us amazing sites around Colorado, he cooked us up some pretty darn good food. One of the recipes he made for Columbian Steak with Aji Sauce will be shared soon on my site–because I loved it that much!

Oh and did I mention his fires for s’mores beat anything I do here in Illinois. 🙂
