This was the sitting area in our little hideaway - Pine Creek Cabin. We had a fireplace and lots of huge windows so we could enjoy the beautiful views.
This was the view from the window in the kitchen/dining area. Gorgeous!
We were visited by many Mule Deer through the time we stayed at Pine Creek. My favorite moment was when we were sitting in the hot tub out in the snow, drinking our frosty beverages, and three deer decided to join us for their evening dinner!
Just more proof of the fact that I married the most wonderful man in the world - he cooked for me the whole time! And one of the many reasons I love him - he always makes me laugh. Exhibit number 1:
Can anyone guess how this happened? I'll tell you - hubby forgot to put a cookie sheet under the pan. Flimsy aluminum foil pan + heavy cooked lasagna + no support underneath = a big mess + lots of laughing!
He's so cute! Well, he made up for the lasagna incident the next morning by making me my favorite breakfast - waffles! And they were perfect. Bill makes waffles
We mostly relaxed at the cabin - reading, doing crossword puzzles, drinking, eating, making fires in the fireplace, making S'mores in the fireplace, watching movies, sleeping... all the wonderful things that make up a restful vacation. But we did get some hiking in at Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP).
The park looks so different during the winter, when it's all covered in snow. But it is still beautiful, and very peaceful (since it's not crawling with tourists!). We took a short hike up to Dream Lake on our last day of vacation...
Absolutely breathtaking! Of course the lakes are frozen this time of year, so it just looks like more snow. We fully intend on getting back to this spot in the summer time, when the water is visible. I'm sure it will be just as beautiful, if not more so!
As soon as we returned from our restful vacation, it was back to the grind. I worked a couple overnight shifts, then flew immediately to Las Vegas for a veterinary conference which I just got back from. Bill used his time as a bachelor to get a lot of extra time in at the office. And we show no signs of stopping!
