Pearls and Paper

November 20, 2010.  Best.  Day.  Ever.

So you know what that means??  Today is our 1st wedding anniversary!

To celebrate we went to the mountains for the weekend.  We left on Friday afternoon to go to Fairplay, Colorado.  We stayed in the Hand Hotel.  (My friend Sarah Hand Pluim's great-grandparents used to own it--very cool!)

I gave Luke the first four Harry Potter Books.

And he gave me Pearls!

We both gave each other traditional first wedding anniversary presents!  We are awesome like that.  :)

Here are some pictures of the hotel (which is a bed and breakfast) where we stayed this weekend.

The hotel entrance

We stayed in the Trapper Room:

There weren't very many other guests this weekend, so we looked in all the other rooms (that had the doors wide open, of course...)

I thought of my sister Wendi when I saw these two rooms.  I took pictures to show her.  (And by putting them on here, she will most likely see them.)

The School Marm Room

Grandma Hand's Room

On Saturday we went over to Breckenridge (which is about 30 miles away from Fairplay) to go exploring and shopping.  As we walked around the town, we were reminded of our honeymoon in Park City.  It was the same ski-town atmosphere.  We had a wonderful time!  Until we ate...way too much!  (But it was soooo delicious!)

Before we left Fairplay to come home, we went to see the monument for Prunes- the famous Burro.  (It's about 3 steps away from the Hand hotel...so we didn't really even have to go out of our way to see it.)

Prunes was awesome.  (I read the story about him...so I totally know...)  

It was a wonderful weekend with Luke!  It was good to get away to enjoy the mountains and time together!

Oh and P.S.

This is the card I made for Luke:

Totally got the idea from Pinterest!
