14 things worth noting >> tastes + adventures
/Thought I’d pop in today with some of the highlights from AJ’s visit. Instead of the usual 10 things worth noting there were a few extra additions that couldn’t go unmentioned. We had an absolute blast showing AJ around Colorado and it gave us a nice distraction from all of the moving + renovation madness.
Big thanks to AJ for going with the flow, putting up with our construction zone of a house, being up for anything, and trying new things. I hope this trip was the perfect pre-college vacation with memories to last a lifetime. xo Ashley
