We celebrated our first wedding anniversary for what felt like a week! Nothing wrong with that, right? What started with flowers and dinner on our actual anniversary (Tuesday, May 29) culminated with an amazing stay at the St. Julien Hotel & Spa in Boulder – where were were married – and a decadent dinner at Frasca Food & Wine. We lazed around the hotel, enjoyed the pool and hot tub and treated ourselves to plenty of champagne. By Sunday morning I declared the one day St. Julien escape a must-budget item for every anniversary possible!

If you are ever in Boulder, splurge and stay at the St. Julien. Or eat multiple courses at Frasca. Or save for a few months and do both! Be sure to also save some room for Tee and Cakes sweets. I promise you won’t regret it.
