Super Angie....super Anniversary

Here we are at the top of Turkey Rock.

Turkey Rock as seen from the road. When I first saw it I freaked out. "We can't climb THAT!"

Scott (our guide) leading the route.

To celebrate our two year anniversary (August 19th), we went to Aspen, CO (where we were married). We stayed in the same cabin and ate at the same restaurants. And again, we wished we could move there--but seriously, who can afford a two bedroom condo for 2 million $? I think we can afford monthly rent on a parking spot in Aspen and that's about it! lol

Anyway, we hired a guide to take us rock climbing outside. It was our first time and we had a BLAST. We climbed TURKEY ROCK. It was amazing!!! Our guide was Scott and he was excellent. I learned to Repel and trad climb. We also found a huge area thats great for bouldering, so we did a bit of that the next day on our own.

The weather in Aspen was perfect. We enjoyed walking the city and enjoying the beauty. The wild flowers were out in full bloom. There were daily afternoon thunder showers which lasted for about 10 minutes. Shopping was fun too (don't worry, I didn't hit the Dior store or the Louis Vuitton store!). We found a great mountaineering store that had a HUGE sale going on on everything in the ladies department. I got a new winter coat and some pants to Ice Climb in. (I'm gonna learn to ice climb this winter.) The pastries in town were to die for. I really enjoyed the zucchini muffin and the banana chocolate chip one. :) They also have a dang good BBQ place right on main street--YUMMMMMMY! We also enjoyed the farmer's market on Saturday. The whole town is just picture perfect. Ah...to be able to live there....maybe someday we'll be able to afford a carport! lol
