Colorado Travel Diary


Last week my family decided we wanted to squeeze in one last vacation before we started school on Monday. We packed our bags and left for Colorado on Tuesday afternoon. We have never gone on vacation just the five of us just for fun before and we thought Colorado would be nice because it isn't a million degrees there like it is in Texas.

Tuesday- 08/15

 We left the house around 3 pm and drove to Amarillo. 7 of the 12 hours of our trip were driving through Texas so Tuesday we didn't even make it out of Texas. We stayed the night in a really weird hotel that smelt like dirty diaper and I was totally disgusted.

 Wednesday- 08/16



We left the hotel around 8 am and spent the rest of the day driving. When we stepped out of the hotel it was only 70 degrees outside and it wasn't humid at all and I couldn't believe we were still in Texas! When we finally made it to our cabin in Colorado it was already around 4 pm so we all chose our rooms and our parents made a quick grocery store run while we explored. Before dinner I spent my time teaching my brother how to play darts and ping pong. After dinner we spent the rest of the night in the hot tub and once we were wrinkled like old people we went and watched a movie in the home theater.

Thursday- 08/17


Thursday we were going to tour a museum but once we got there we were told the whole town's power was out. Since the power was out we decided to go to a resort in Breckenridge and we rode a gondola to the top of a mountain where we ate lunch and then rode another gondola up the mountain and slide down the mountain on a huge slide!

Friday- 08/18










We decided to leave a day earlier than planned because we wanted to get home before Sunday because our first day of school would be Monday and we didn't want to be exhausted. So we spent the morning fishing. I don't fish so while my family fished I took pictures. After fishing we packed up the car and went to the museum we had wanted to go to on Thursday and afterward we went and got lunch at a cute ice cream parlor before heading back to Texas. We finally made it to a hotel in Amarillo around 12 am and we were so exhausted we didn't even bring our suitcases into the hotel we just went straight to our rooms and went to sleep in our clothes.

Saturday- 08/19
We finally made it home around 2 pm Saturday and it felt so good to be back home and see my dog and my cows.

Luv Ya!

My 21st Birthday + XOXO Dining Room Review

Last month I celebrated my 21st birthday at one of the most Instagramable restaurants in Dallas! If I were a restaurant, I'd definitely be XOXO Dining Room. From the pink building, to the picture-worthy garden, to the DJ's music selection, it could not have been a more perfect place to celebrate my 21st.

It rained the entire Memorial Day Weekend here so I spent the long weekend watching movies. Audrey Hepburn is my favorite actress so I spent the weekend binge watching classic movies starring Audrey. I came across five of her movies on Amazon that are free to watch with Prime and thought I would share in case you're in need of a rainy day movie too.

A Day at Crocodile Encounters

In my  Spring Break Recap post  I mentioned going to a petting zoo and that I wanted to do a post about the adventure and that's what I am sharing with you today! The petting zoo was actually an alligator petting zoo that had other animals as well. The place was called Crocodile Encounters and it's near Houston. I must say that it was a bit sketchy (it was in some one's backyard!!) and I was a little bit nervous going in but it was a ton of fun! When you get there you enter through the gift shop where you can buy crocodile food that you can throw to them and lettuce you can feed to all of the other animals so we bought some to feed the animals. We didn't spend but a couple of hours there because this pale girl was quickly burning and I didn't want to be the color of a lobster the next day. And don't forget you can click on the pictures to view them larger!
