{bucket list} rocky mountain national park

A and i just got back from a magical day trip to rocky mountain national park {ps it's national park week!}. it's about an hour and a half from where we live, which is kind of amazing. we hiked three miles to the top of deer mountain {10,013 feet} and made a sweet new chipmunk friend {we named him bobby}. when we got back down we spent the afternoon in downtown estes park - we ate estes park's best burger, got candy from the old fashioned candy shop, and searched for silly treasures at the five-and-dime {i have a serious weakness for five-and-dimes}. oh, and we crossed one more thing off of the bucket list!
