Buena Vista, Colorado


We flew up on a Thursday and back on a Sunday. We love you Julie Ann!!!

Noteworthy things about BV: 
  • In 2005, Outside Magazine named Buena Vista one of "The Best Towns in the U.S." and a "New American Dream Town"
  • The name "Buena Vista," Spanish for "Beautiful View," can often be heard pronounced locally as "Byoona Vista."
  • Julie Ann Brandenberger lives there.
  • There is a Subway.
  • Oklahoma country music singer and songwriter Jeremy Castle released a song entitled "A Little Bit Like Heaven" in 2004, which celebrates beauty of the town of Buena Vista, Colorado
  • It is known as the Banana Belt. But there aren't any bananas.


Abby and I visited JuJu Bean in February 2008 (this year). We saw her lovely home, pictured above.
When you flush the toilet, the sink gurggles. They don't lock their doors in BV. Not even at night. crazy chickens.

We skied, boarded, cooked meals, drank coffee, stayed up late talking and got to see the beautiful sunshine and snow for 3 days. 

I got the flu. Chris was sick too. What a shame...
