Gunnison Family Reunion


We are back from the Gunnison Reunion with Chad's college friends. My few expectations of good coffee, cold temperatures and creating memories with great friends were all achieved. The trip started in Denver where all 6 of us packed into the car and headed to Gunny. We took our time and stopped for lunch, scenic picture opps, wine tasting and souvenier shopping. After all the drive is part of the adventure!




One of my favorite parts of the trip was hanging out in Crested Butte on Friday. We strolled up and down the main street browsing through the cute shops and ending up at the Eldo for refreshments. On Saturday we went off roading and were able to explore some beautiful mountains, lakes, forrests and valleys in the area. We were constantly taking the layers on and off as the temperature would change every few minutes. We even touched our first snow of the season:)



We ended the weekend by grilling out hamburgers and making smores and smoreos (smores in oreos) over the campfire.

We are looking forward to the trip next year!
