I went on a girls trip to Aspen with 5 of my super close friends. One of the girls has a "timeshare sort of thing" at the Ritz Carlton so we were all super excited to get a free stay in Aspen, and thrilled to stay at a super awesome hotel.

| Sarah and I were on the first flight on Saturday and we were pretty excited |
 |
| Kristi, Kate & Erin arrived a few hours later, and Linz arrived on Sunday |

We were back at the hotel by 11pm Saturday, and was up and ready to head out skiing on Sunday.

 |
| The whole group arrived and we had a fun night out at Matsuhisa, then had great bonding in the hot tub |
 |
| Big group ski day on Monday, Kate was the only one missing (she didn't ski) |
About a month before our trip, we made reservations for lunch at Cloud Nine. This place is know for their champagne party at 2pm and we were looking forward to experiencing the fun!
 |
| We skied to Cloud Nine |
 |
| We stripped off the top ski layers to prevent them from getting wet |
 |
| We had a great lunch |
 |
| The restaurant when the music was still tame |
 |
| The music got louder, so we stood on our chairs and had fun dancing and people watching |
 |
| People buy champagne bottles just to spray them, it's very entertaining to watch |
 |
| Some random unicorn man |
 |
| Erin bought a champagne bottle to spray |
After Cloud Nine, we all skied down the mountain and four of us went back to The Little Nell in our ski gear to do a little dancing!
 |
| We may not look classy but sure had a great time! |
 |
| On our way to the hot tub |
For the 3rd day of skiing, it was only the twins and myself. We decided to try out a different mountain and actually skied Aspen mountain (aka Ajax). It snowed a ton that day and the powder was amazing for skiing! It was a great ski day!
One of the best things about the trip was the quality time we all had together. There were no interruptions, no rushing to get home, no kids! We laughed a lot, had some really deep spiritual conversations, and just really enjoyed each other. It was so special and hard to describe. I definitely left the trip feeling so full in my heart!!! Feeling so Lucky to be blessed with these amazing friendships!
