after visiting Tuft Love in Louisville. Everything is set up for you right

when you walk in. Oh, and safety first! Put up your hair.

but once you got the hang of it, it became really fun.

The instructors were really helpful and told us exactly

where to start on each of our individual rugs.

Some people chatted with their neighbors,

others listened to music in their headphones… no matter what you did,

The owners will finish them off and mail them to us.

in the US and the least visited national park in Colorado,

The drive from Denver is about 5 hours to Montrose,

and is a great landing place near the national park.

we did some hiking in the park and took the scenic drive throughout

arguably the most famous formation in the park.

we went to Horsefly Brewing Company and discovered their sister speakeasy bar,

and we made it in time for their happy hour drink specials.

The whole speakeasy is decked out in prohibition era decor,

we headed over to the Montrose Farmers Market for breakfast

before making our way over to Big B's Delicious Orchard,

The orchard has u-pick fruit throughout the summer and fall.

it was a bit too early for us to pick anything this season,

but we wandered through the orchards and discovered

in the designated international dark sky park.
