Aspen, Colorado
Usually I am not a winter person but being away in the Rocky Mountains, I am enjoying the cold and all the snow. Aspen, Colorado is absolutely stunning. The elevation of Aspen is 7809ft so it does take a day or two to adjust to the altitude.

It used to be a mining town so while walking around town, you can see the old architecture.

Make sure you say hi to the bear which is in the center of Aspen square.

We just left Colorado! :) Looks like you were able to see snow! Did you ski? How fun! So good to see you, what a fun winter vacation. Love the old architecture, it really speaks to the history around Aspen. Really beautiful @loveself! Happy New Year my friend!
It was quite hectic with work leading up to vacation but well worth it. It's so beautiful. I'm not a big ski person so instead I have been hiking and snow shoeing. Happy New Year to you and your family!

It's been a busy December. How are you? I missed all of your holiday gifting ideas. I'll have to save them for the following year. Nothing beats homemade gifts, especially such tasty ones. Happy New Year!
