Georgetown, CO

Hey guys! : )

Saturday, Garrett and I drove to Georgetown to spend the day. After receiving some crappy news on Friday, more on that later, we decided that getting out of town for the day would do us a world of good.

I had discovered online that Georgetown turns into a "Christmas town" the first 2 weekends of December, and thought it may help me to get into the Christmas spirit if we went. For some reason, this year I have not gotten into the spirit yet. I didn't even really want to put up our tree! 

Going to Georgetown helped, as it was gorgeous with a wonderful atmosphere of Christmas music, lights, friendly people, shopping, roasted chestnuts, and snow. As Garrett put it, "It looked like something from a postcard."

Of course we made a stop in here. I didn't get anything but their cupcakes looked amazing! 

 

I definitely under dressed for that day. I was FREEZING! I'm normally the first person to get hot so I never wear too many layers, that day I wished I had. We ended up stopping and buying my first pair of mittens. They are wool and have a really soft and warm lining.

I could spend all day trying on silly hats. It's so much fun!

We ate at a place called The Happy Cooker. It was a "family style seating" restaurant. That means that you sit with strangers at the same table. I hate places like that. If I had known ahead of time I wouldn't have stepped foot in there. It's not that I don't like people, but sitting closely at a table and sharing a meal with complete strangers holds the possibility of complete awkwardness. 

When they called "Garrett and Whit" I looked up, ready to go sit down. I thought it was strange that Garrett had written down both our names, but didn't give much thought to it until I realized that the "Whit" was actually "Whitt" and was someone else's last name.  They were standing right beside us so I couldn't say no at that point.

 We sat at a small 4 person table and had a meal together. And I am glad we did. They were really nice and there was no awkwardness. Thank goodness.

This sweet girl was in someone's front yard. Her big ears made me giggle, and want to kiss her.

This lake is along the Interstate. It is so gorgeous frozen with the houses behind it. Usually it is filled with people ice fishing, brave souls! 

Georgetown was beautiful and full of Christmas cheer. I guess it did the trick of helping me get into the Christmas spirit because we put up our tree that night. Finally!

What things get you into the Christmas spirit?
