Evergreen, CO

Jon has been working very long hours for the past month or so, in preparation for a project due at work next week. Lucky for me, he was able to take a break today to spend with me! We had brunch at The Egg & I - super yummy! Jon had a version of eggs benedict with asparagus and ham, and I had a yummy greek salad with chicken and artichokes.
We spent the afternoon in Evergreen - a cute little town about 45 minutes away from our house, up in the foothills. Mom and Dad stayed up there a couple of nights when they visited us last month, and I spent a day hanging out there with them. I wanted to go back this weekend because one of the shops Mom and I went to was having a Christmas open house with sales this weekend. Jon was a good sport about it, and tagging along with me through 3 different shops. And yes, I did purchase some goodies at each one! =)
We also drove around looking at houses up there - it would be a fun place to live aside from the commute. While we were driving around, we came upon an elk in the road. A couple was walking through the neighborhood, and said that happens all the time! The elk joined his friend across the road in one of their neighbor's yards and weren't phased by the car or my camera at all!
I hope everyone else had a fun weekend too! It was great weather today (70s), but is supposed to be in the 30s tomorrow!
