Best.Weekend.Ever

I had the best.weekend.ever! As some of you already know, Nate came to visit me this past weekend after not having seen each other in 3 months.


Friday night was a little frustrating, driving down to Denver and running into a whiteout blizzard 1/2 way, going 10 mph through switchbacks. It took me 4 hours to get to the airport, park, and get inside to meet Nate at the baggage claim. We didn't get home 'til 1:30 am, but the whole ride back was great just being able to talk in person.
Saturday, I showed him around town, gave him the grand tour of Steamboat, and we saw the movie "21"--which is excellent by the way and really makes you want to go to Vegas!

Sunday we met two of my friends, Scott and Bridget, for lunch, and then bummed around the apartment for a while. That night we went walking downtown by the river; it was such a nice day: sunny, warm...perfect. After dinner at Tequila's, my fave Mexican restaurant here, and a couple of margaritas (might I recommend the blackberry margaritas--delish!), we drove up to the natural hot springs. The sun was just setting as we were getting up there, so picturesque. It was so incredible. Clear skies, bright stars, perfect weather, relaxing in the hot springs. I think it was probably the best night of my life.
