Family Adventures in Telluride

My family has visited Telluride many times before, but this was their first visit since I moved here. It made their time here all the more special to me because I could finally show them my favorite parts of Telluride. We hiked, adventured to lakes and swimming holes, and did a whole lot of relaxing. Not only was their presence comforting, but having them here helped me fall in love with Telluride all over again. It was the most heartwarming feeling to walk into a restaurant and be sent a few appetizers and drinks as a welcoming gift to my family. After witnessing these small acts (and more), I felt a sense of reassurance that all I have sacrificed to live here has been totally worth it. That the countless hours I have spent working has allowed me to create a bond with such caring, delightful people. Well, it's either that or I  really enjoyed the fact that my parents thought I was cool enough to get food compliments of the chef ;)
