Spring Break in Colorado

Birthday lunch and shopping.

Strawberry birthday cake, recipe here.

Lucky charms and left over birthday cake to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!

Hot Chocolate at Hotel Hunter

Chocolate exhibit at the museum, very interesting and educational, we especially loved loading up on chocolate sweets at the end.

Papa time.

I got this pic from my mom while we were out on a movie date, so cute!

Last week we spent spring break in Colorado with our family and we had so much fun! The first part of the week was full of outings and celebrating my birthday. Unfortunately, my dad came down with a cold the day we arrived and Theo picked it up by Friday... major bummer. Despite being sick, Theo was super sweet and took great naps, so we got to spend the second half of the break resting, which we really needed.

We spent the week at one of the rec center pools in Castle Rock and we went to the Life and Science Museum in Denver (one of my favorites!). For my birthday, we went out to lunch at one of my new favorite restaurants, Life Kitchen, and we did some birthday shopping at Park Meadows. My mom made a delicious strawberry naked cake, and after cake and presents, Todd and I got to go out on our first date since we had Theo! We went to Southlands and saw Zootopia. We also got to see Allegiant over the weekend (seriously, our first trip to the movies since Star Wars came out. I love going to the movies!)

It was a fun week and it was sad to leave, but we are happy to be back in North Carolina in our shorts and flip flops.
