While I was back in the states, I went to Colorado for a week for Owen's brother's wedding. Owen flew from London to Colorado for a week and I met up with him there. We stayed with Jake and Sydney for the week leading up to the wedding. It was a really great chance to spend time with them, since it's been 3 years since we last saw them. We had the chance to see the rest of the family too. We also had some time to catch up with some other people, including Chris's parents and my college friend Abby.
This was also my first trip to Colorado, so we did do a little exploring. We went to Colorado Springs for a day and wandered around Garden of the Gods, which was beautiful! We saw Pike's Peak from the distance and got some nice landscape pictures, classic Colorado views. We also drove up Lookout Mountain for some views, it was nice to be out of the very busy Denver suburbs. One of the highlights of exploring was the hike up Devil's Head. This was a beautiful trail with amazing views at the top. Definitely one of the most beautiful hikes I've ever done, and the highest elevation!
Aside from all the exploring, the main reason for being in Colorado was the wedding. It was a great time, Sydney looked beautiful, and they both looked so happy. We were so thankful to be able to share this day with them, obviously worth the trip back from London. We're so happy that Sydney is officially part of the family now. Congratulations Jake and Sydney!
