Dream.

Discover.

Update from Crested Butte


Well, I could have spent this morning updating the blog with all the information and photos from our hike this weekend...The ongoing saga of the kitchen just gets worse (one day it will be finished...!) so we decided to be positive and take advantage of the situation and hike through the Maroon Bells and Snowmass wilderness to Aspen, which is something we have wanted to do for a while....Today was too nice though!
