Ree Drummond enjoys 'marital vacation' to Colorado with husband Ladd following his recovery from neck surgery

Ree and Ladd are on a much-needed vacation together after he recovered from neck surgery.

Ree explained her enthusiasm about their vacation in a blog post on Sunday. She wrote, "Ladd and I are on vacation in Colorado together! Can you tell I'm excited?" "Missing our vacation was certainly at the bottom of our list of concerns at the time since Ladd was in the hospital recovering from his emergency neck surgery... but as he started healing and getting better, we had to chuckle that the accident had happened right before our trip, because something had seemed to interrupt our being able to take three previously planned Colorado trips together," she recalled. "We might have just given up on trying, but I'm stubborn and so is he, so we decided to make plans one last time and see if we were able to make it happen."
