A Little Getaway

Chris planned a short getaway while he had a few days off at Christmas (Splunk shuts down for a week from Christmas to New Years). We drove up to Estes Park after running errands in Longmont and finishing up some appointments. We haven't had much snow since the big storm at Thanksgiving, so the roads were nice a clear and we meandered the long way around, passing through Allenspark on our way to Estes.

We checked in at the Worldmark condos and then found a great but chilly restaurant for dinner—Antonio's Real New York Pizza. We were seated in one booth and asked to be moved because it was so cold sitting next to a single-pane window. Most of the patrons sat with their jackets and hats on. I guess you know the food is good when people are willing to brave the elements inside the restaurant!

On Friday, the 27th, we hiked up to Calypso Falls. It was a hike we had never heard of before and both of us are excited to go back in the summer time to see the waterfalls.
