"In life, it's not where you are, but who you are with that really matters"

This past weekend we had the most amazing time with our friends and family that came to visit! On Thursday,  our cousins Morgan and Jeremy, along with our friend Dan flew in. Morgan and I spent most of the day looking for a green outfit for St. Patrick's day, however, we had the most difficult time finding anything green! So, we decided to go with plan "e" and wear white shirts with green accessories (including green flip flops)! After our mad search around the city, we went Jonsey's for dinner, followed by Vine Street!

On Thursday, Keegan, Elizabeth, and Adam arrived! I worked on Thursday, but Kyle took the day off and spent some time outdoors and hung out with everyone. That evening, we celebrated St. Patrick's day by going to The Gin Mill (a Purdue bar).  They have the most delicious popcorn, which reminds Kyle and I of Harry's back home. For dinner, we went to H Burger, followed by our final destination, The Irish Snug! 
 
On Friday, we all headed out to the Oskar Blues Brewery. As some of you may know, Jeremy and Kyle have a dream of opening a brewery. All the guys were so excited for this venture. The brewery, I have to admit, was super neat and very interesting. Afterwords, we went to Boulder for a quick snack and then over to Matt and Julie's for a cookout. We had a great time with everyone and I was so happy that our nieces, Phoebe and Sylvie had the chance to see everyone!

On Saturday, we headed out to Morrison, CO, where we went to Red Rocks for a quick stop. Red Rocks is an amazing amphitheater, surrounded by beautiful rock formations. After Red Rocks, we headed to Golden, CO for lunch and then some time on Lookout Mountain. Golden, Co is one of our favorite places in Colorado so we were pumped to go and show everyone.  We lucked out and had some beautiful weather, a bit windy, but overall one of the best days of the trip!

On Saturday night, we all had dinner at Mista and Landon's. Dinner turned into games, and games turned into a dance party! We all had so much fun and it was the perfect way to spend our final night together.








On Sunday, we ate breakfast at Mona's then sadly said our Goodbyes. Kyle and I both agree that this was one of our best weekends yet in Colorado.  We are so thankful for our friends and family and can't wait for the memories ahead :-)
