Summer Weekend In Telluride


Mike came back from Minnesota on Thursday and after switching out his suitcase we were off again. This time we were staying in Colorado and heading up to meet his Aunt Michelle, Uncle Tom, and cousins Shea and Sam. Friday was a day spent enjoying Telluride. We were suppose to be listening to some Bluegrass music, but we all forgot the most important thing...the tickets! So we went back to the condo and relaxed, listened to Tom play the guitar, and then got ready for dinner. We went to Los Montanas Restaurant, this is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Colorado. The chef even came out to tell us how he made his secret rice! We then made our way to the river front to listen to a couple songs before we headed in for the night. Saturday we got up and went and hiked a trail known as the "waterfalls." It is a two mile hike up the valley with a spectacular view of the mountains and the waterfall. With the snow still melting the waterfall was a sight to see.

Then we went and layed by the pool and did some more relaxing. Dinner on Saturday was at the Cosmopolitian. It was a dinner filled with laughs and great stories about each others families. We then headed again to our spot on the riverfront to listen to some more music.
Sunday we finally had tickets for the festival. We got up and headed down early to the show. We ended up starting to walk in for lunch just before "soft hail" fell on all of Telluride. Then we listened to some more music and Mike and I had to pack up and head to Denver. It was hard to leave Telluride...if you ever want a great place to go you must put Telluride on the top of your list! Thanks Tom, Michelle, Shea, and Sam for a great weekend in Telluride :-)
