The spirit ever lingers
Last day. Thought we'd go out with a bang. Got up, gussied up (as best we could) and went to the Broadmoor for breakfast. We had never been before. Breakfast was fantastic. The property is stunning. Then we took the shuttle to seven falls. I had high expectations for seven falls. Sadly, I was a …
Emotional Feedback
Welp, everyday can't be perfect. And I can't always be mother of the year! We were heading to Guffey, to Paradise Cove to cliff jump. We made a slight detour so the kids could see the Royal Gorge and walk across the bridge. Finally made it to Paradise Cove after driving and driving and thinking …
A companion unobtrusive (sort-of)
Roxy, poodle, princess,pickle... She has been amazing. She was definitely the unknown factor in this trip of ours. We just didn't know how it would go with her, and all the activities we had planned. Other than her need and desire to always be on our lap, she was a superstar. This post is dedicated …
Bristle with the energy
Wow. I can't believe how it's possible, but each day is better than the last. Today our plan was to camp in Gunnison because it's halfway between where we are and where we want to go. I thought we would maybe rent tubes and float down the river. We arrived in Gunnison and it was …
Happy Solitude
The majestic mountain in front of us, the river behind us. We just couldn't leave. We reserved another night here in our new Shang-ri-la. We went to Box Canyon Falls. The pictures don't do it justice. It was a short hike to the bottom of the falls and a longer more treacherous hike to …
Glittering prizes
Truly amazing day! We rolled out of the Blue Spruce campground and headed to the marina. We rented the biggest boat we could find. A 16' fishing boat. 🚣 The plan was to rent stand up paddle boards but it was half the price to rent a boat! Go figure. Turns out, lucky for us, …
The magic music makes your morning mood.
A beautiful morning in Mesa Verde National Park. But we have plans. It's an easy pack up because we camped au natural. The view from our drive out of the park.... Our mission today: going to Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. All at once. Yes, I'm talking about the Four Corners Monument. Yes, we have …
Begin the day with a friendly voice…
I think I accidentally deleted a post in between the last two. We awoke to a rainy morning in Pagosa Springs. Chilly and cloudy. What to do but hit the hot springs? This was our magic of the day. Perfect day for this. There are 23 different pools here. Right on the San Juan River. …
Invisible airwaves crackle with life…
We packed up early and hit the road again. Destination: Mesa Verde National Park. I haven't been here in years. We made a pit stop at Chimney Rock national monument. Had some fun. My kids are hilarious!! The drive to Mesa Verde is truly amazing. The views are spectacular on the way to the cliff …
