Hello Fall... I love you.

The past couple of weeks in Boulder have been amazing fall days with sunny skies and gorgeous leaves changing every where. I literally feel like Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail where she's like all I want is a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils for back to school. I love Fall.

So this past weekend Thomas and I embraced Fall and did some appropriate October activities.
On Saturday, we went down to the farmer's market for lunch and picked up some apples and butternut squash.

Then that night we headed off to a CU football game. I have been literally craving football so we decided to go last minute and found some also seats right on the 40 yard line, 25 rows up. It was great.... but made me miss good ole NC State games way way too much!

Our sweet little 5 minute tailgate with a six pack


The best part of the whole game was that at half time. They had the marching band, cheerleaders, flag girls.... and INTERPRETIVE DANCERS.... yes. Only in Boulder. All dressed in white, leaping around. I tried to get pics of this insanely hilarious sighting.



On Sunday we headed up to Estes Park for some lunch, a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park and then we did a history/ghost tour at the Stanley Hotel (where the Shinning was supposed to take place). The tour was mostly history, but it was alright because it was actually cool history and awesome to see all the old architecture and know the stories behind everything.

    Once you read up on this fall activity and embrace it as your new favorite hobby, I think you should probably pay a visit to me in MA:
