While in Colorado we got to see so many friends! (only some of which we remembered to take pictures with! Isn’t that always the way?!) Unfortunately we didn’t get to see everyone. It was a short trip and we only spent 24 hours in Boulder!
Miss Leyba got to meet some of my awesome coworkers from my water resource engineering days:
It was wonderful seeing them outside of the workplace, without any work-related stress (for me, anyhow!).
We also met up with my dear friend Bridget for some happy hour hopping:
We ate breakfast at our favorite spot Lucile’s with newlyweds Tim and Sarah:
David, Miss Leyba, and I had so much fun walking around Boulder, visiting our favorite bookstore and restaurants. It was exactly as we remembered it: friendly people, incredible prices (in comparison to where we live in California!), delicious food, beautiful scenery.
This trip felt like a homecoming to me. Despite our great friends in California and the fact that David loves his job, I still feel like Boulder is home. At the end of our trip though we decided that, while we’d love to live there again, we will only move back if we can truly afford to live there and can buy a house in town so we can walk everywhere (just as we did when we rented there three years ago). So, at some point I hope we move back… but for now we are focusing on our life in Northern California. After all, how many people can say they truly love their job and look forward to going to work every day? I can’t argue with that.
We’ll continue to visit Boulder.
We heart you, Colorado.
