I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful group of ladies to call friends.  Six of my ‘mom’ friends from Michigan flew in on Thursday for a long girls weekend getaway and it was more fun than I could have anticipated.  On Friday we toured around Boulder, heading up Flagstaff, hike a Chautauqua, lunch at Fate Brewing Co, shopping on Pearl St, and snacking at Piece, Love, and Chocolate.  In the evening we had tapas at The Med followed by drinks at Bitter Bar and the obligatory night out dancing at Tahona, waiting in line for a taxi with all the CU students at 2am.

On Saturday we drove to the mountains to stay at Devils Thumb Ranch, Resort, and Spa for the night.  With the unexpected snow our afternoon horseback ride was cancelled but it actually worked out well because we had a leisurely lunch, sat in the hot tub for awhile, and relaxed in our gorgeous rooms before a delicious dinner at Ranch House Restaurant.  On Sunday we had massages and spent some time in Denver before parting ways.  I am so thankful for these ladies, all of whom have 2 kids the same ages as our girls.  I am a better mother and a better person because of them, and look forward to our next ladies weekend.
