We are back....and oh, how I have missed you all.
The Denver Airport Tram
Our trip to Colorado was just what we needed. The air was fresh and crisp, the views were absolutely breathtaking, the places we stayed at were so very nice, and the best part....Sam nor I had to drive a single mile.
Our sweet daughters took the wheel and Sam, Mylee Jo, and I kicked back in the back seats of the Suburban.......lots of laughter went on back there. Most of the laughter was due to the antics from Mylee. This girl kept us rolling.
The beauty we saw was nothing short of stunning. From the towering red rocks of the Garden of the Gods to the majestic views riding the Cog Train up to the top of Pikes Peak. Riding the Cog Railway to the top of the mountain was something we all enjoyed. We did use a can of oxygen while we were on top of the mountain, but this did not stop us from enjoying the warm and most amazing cinnamon donuts from the shop at the top.
While we were in Breckenridge, the five of us rode a ski lift....a first for Sam and I. There may have been a lot squealing involved, but not all of it came from me. This was such a fun thing to do and if we had had the time, I would have ridden the lift up and down, over and over again....It was that fun!!
The food? Oh my. Let's just say we did not go hungry. We found some fantastic restaurants and made sure to sample a little bit of everything. In Breckenridge, we also went down to the river. I LOVED putting my feet in the COLD water as it rushed past the rocks. I even crossed a big stream by walking across the rocks.
There is so much that I want to talk about and I have so many great pictures to show you. I think I'll stop here for today and make this a two day post. My post for tomorrow will include the Troll we visited, Playing some Pickle Ball, Our kiddos new home, The Birthday Cookie, Me losing our car keys, Our shopping adventures, Our trip to Royal Gorge, and lots of photos.
Stay tuned for part two.
Shug.....
Well, I read about Sam. I hope they can calm down his immune system. Would you say? And I can't believe he has Covid - what does that mean for him and his treatment.
ReplyDeleteOh, your trip looked like so much fun. Looks like your whole family went. I would love to put my feet in the river like that and just cool off and relax. Glad you had a good time.
Wow, a whole lot of firsts for you! What adventures you have been having!! And WOW, a gorgeous new header. You are Mistress of the Headers! I know this so something you really needed, and am so happy you had so much fun! Can't wait to see and read the rest!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! It's so good that you had a good holiday, though sad that Sam has contracted Covid. I hope he's feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a fantastic trip. Love all the pictures and the smiles. It all sounds like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that Sam has Covid. I hope he gets over that quickly.
Shug, I'm so sorry about Sam having the dreaded virus. That's par for plane rides. My mom would always get sick when she flew anywhere. BUT, your trip to Colorado looked amazing! So many fun things and time with family. It sounds like the perfect little get-away. I can't wait to hear the rest of the story :)
