Brunch, horseback riding, and a walk through one of my favorite towns: a great date idea, yes? At least that is what I thought when I purchased a Google Offer for this earlier in the year. It turns out that notion was not incorrect at all.
Months passed on by before I could do it, but I managed to get in a reservation for a weekend in October before they were all taken. The weather turned out to be perfect, in contrast to the rain Northern Colorado got the previous day. What luck!
