Seven years ago from this past Sunday Derek and I had our first kiss and officially started dating in Thailand. So, this weekend Derek took me on a surprise trip to Strawberry Hot Springs in Steamboat. We had an amazing time - the place was indescribable. To sit in a natural hot spring and look out at a beautiful snow covered landscape for a whole weekend is to be truly blessed - and to top it off we each got to enjoy it with our most favorite person - each other.
We spent most of our time in the hot springs or being together in our bungalow, but did venture to town to celebrate with a wonderful meal at Cafe Diva supposedly the best place in town - all signs point to yes for us! We had an amazing time practicing our manners and eating what Derek called the "best meal he'd ever had." On our way home to Denver we had a huge breakfast in Steamboat again before heading on a scenic drive to Fort Collins. On the way we were able to do some hiking and Derek decided he likes CO even more as we drove past trail after trail.

This was the view from our window - literally this amazing on all sides
Our Bungalow!
That's the little place where I got a massage - no CD required. You just had to listen to the natural sounds to relax.

We finally crossed the continental divide - now we just need to figure out what exactly that means.
