I love road trips. For some reason 13+ hours in a car doesn’t really bother me, as long as Stephanie is with me. Sure sitting that long wears on me. But I LOVE the time we spend together, We enjoy loading up the ipod with great music of past and present, great fun reminiscing of yesteryear, the deep god conversations we have, the odd conversations we have- were we some how created a non-profit (more on that later, maybe), overall I think I just enjoy the fun with great company, no matter what the destination.
Colorado Rocked. They had record heat, but its 20 – 30 degrees cooler still. So mornings and evenings outside were perfect.
***Photos Coming Soon. I have been up since 3am AZ time, and am too tired to finish editing all of my 500+ photos I took (the new camera rocks!).
We enjoyed time with my parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins.
Thursday & Friday were spent with my parents, decompressing from the ride up, and general around town fun.
Saturday We headed up to Castlewood Canyon Park. The site of the second largest dam burst / flooding in colorado history. It was a great hike. and we had fun playing in the rocks and water.
Sunday we drove home from Elizabeth, CO (near Castle Rock) the back way, which yielded some fun pics.
Monday morning Stephanie and I were able to break away and hike some trails around Garden of the gods. I have been there hundreds of times as a kid, and I still love going. This was the best year so far. Usually we are plagued by clouds, but this year was a bight, warm sunny day.
Tuesday we hung out with my grandparents, and toured around old town pueblo. I really dig old buildings and houses for some reason.
By The Way, I think Stephanie was getting tired of all the photo shoots.
We had fun, but also glad to have routines, our bed, and our furry kids back. Even if it is 200° out in the valley.
