Road Trip to Colorado






We went on our first Road trip from August 16-25th. We went from California thru Nevada and Utah to Colorado. It was a 2 day 20 hour trip and Nicholas did so awesome. We got to see some beautiful parts of the Western states. Utah is awesome with all the open land and red rock and cliffs. It was a long trip, but well worth it. You could never see all this scenary otherwise. We reached Fort Collins, Colorado and spent a great week with our friends the Patricks. In colorado we went tubing, went to some great parks, and of course went to Chris's alumni CU. It was great family time and Nicholas had a ball. We left on Thursday for our drive home. we stopped in Breckenridge, Co for one night and I loved the quaint little mountain town. Friday took us as far as Mexican Hat, Utah(Pop 28). We enjoyed the company of the locals at the swinging steak restaurant that has apparently been featured on the food network. It was really fun to hear how it is to live in such a small town. Sat. morning we did the last 10 hour stretch home which took us through Monument Valley. It was amazing...AFter Laughlin it was a long trip and Nicholas had reached his limit.....I felt like crying when we finally made it home, but it was a super trip and well worth the last tourturous hours.....Cant wait for next time....With a second baby coming it may be awhile...
