Ouray, Colorado




Saturday was my 25th Birthday and after 7 1/2 years together, Scott and I haven't done anything romantic together. So on Friday we went to Ouray, Colorado for some peace and quiet, alone. We pulled into town around 11:00 am and since we couldn't get into out Hotel room until 2:00 pm we decided to walk up and down Main Street, twice. We checked out all the shops, and eateries, not finding anything to buy though. After that, we went and saw the waterfalls. These waterfalls freeze into a beautiful sparkling blue and people ice climb up them. They are amazing to see. Later on, we drove up the Yankee Boy Basin and saw some EXTREME Ice Climbers...these ice falls these people were climbing were literally thousands of feet high. I was scared just watching them! Haha! That night we went to a few Brewery's, ate some appitizers, drank some beer, and also bought an ice pick to have our names engraved into, to hang on one of the Brewery's Walls. (So if you ever go into The Ouray Brewery, look for our ice pick, it says "Scott and Ashley Hoskin 2010")  After we were finished there, we walked across the street to the local steakhouse, and had our dinner. Then, it was the Hot Springs. They were so relaxing, I think I could've stayed there all day long ;) We only stayed one night, but we will for sure start planning get-a-aways like this every 6 months or so, I think its great on your relationship to have some occasional alone time, away from the kiddos.  It brought us closer together and made for a wonderful birthday!
