Growing Like a Weed

First Trip to Durango

We had a busy weekend last weekend! We took Juniper for her first trip to Durango to pick up a few things, and decided to have lunch outside at Ska. It’s been since the end of October since we’ve eaten out (occasional, take-out aside) and well over a year since we’ve been able to visit Ska, which is normally one of our regular watering holes. It was fun to share it with the pup who did a great job hanging out in the beer garden.

Chimney Rock National Monument

Saturday, we celebrated Spring with a walk and picnic at Chimney Rock. We did about a two mile walk up and back the main road. The monument is closed this time of year, but accessible via foot traffic or horseback. It was the busiest day we’ve ever visited in the off-season. Everybody had the same idea for such a beautiful morning.

I also tried to squeeze in an impromptu photoshoot at the new visitor center that’s under construction of my completed Chimney Rock Scarf, inspired by the landscape. You’ll notice the little fuzzy-one photobombing me (above).

Getting our steps in! We even walked another three-quarters of a mile on Sunday around the Riverwalk downtown. Hope everyone else is enjoying the return of Spring and staying safe when you go out.
