Two Buttes, Colorado
We flew to Denver in May 2007 and I was very pregnant with the twins. Two Buttes is the smallest town we've been to with only 43 residents at the time. We stayed in Avon and toured Aspen, Beaver Creek and Vail. It was an interesting time of the year to go as May is off-season in ski country. We stayed at our timeshare in Avon ~ The Sheraton Mountain Vistas.
Here is what we learned about Two Buttes before traveling there:

Memories:
- Naming our Twins on the airplane out to Denver
- Buying all sorts of Bear & Moose themed items for the twin's nursery
- Shopping at the 2nd time around store, Once Upon a Child, in Aspen ~ wow!
- Bob getting pulled over and given a warning for speeding while leaving Two Buttes (wide open spaces)
- Being in a place where the postal worker knew how many residents were there that day because two had gone to another town for groceries.
- Seeing some of the most beautiful mountainous sights we'd seen as a couple. It even snowed like crazy in May!
