Adventures in Colorado...Part II


We made it to Colorado, and had a great time! We met up with my grandparents, and had a wonderful visit! We missed them so much, and it had been far too long since we had seen each other! Durango, Colorado had a beautiful playground that we made several stops at to let the kids play! I mean, who wouldn't want to play with the river and this view right behind you?! It is more majestic than the picture portrays!

Our little man enjoying a swing, too!

Grandmother and me...boy, do I miss her!


A little family portrait!

We stayed in Durango, which has the coolest Choo-Choo-Train that you can ride up to Silverton on a very scenic tour! It is a neat town nestled down in the valley between the gigantic Rocky Mountains! We drove around looking at the leaves, the sights and the town. We ate dinner and then swam in the hotel pool (heated ofcourse!) before heading to bed. The next day we got up to head out to Mesa Verde! Our friends in Gainesville, the Parkers, said it was amazing, and they were right! After a long day at Mesa Verde, we came back, swam some more, ate a good dinner and were out for the night! We had to say good-bye to Grandmother and Grandaddy as they headed back to Salt Lake City, UT to catch their flight back to Georgia...sad moments. Andrew, the kids and I hung out in Durango a little while longer before heading back to Glorieta in just enough time for me to get back to the Front Desk. Andrew is back hard at work today...not even stopping for lunch! This was the first trip we have taken since being in New Mexico, and I think we are going to have to do more! Stay tuned...Mesa Verde pictures coming up next, and you DO NOT want to miss those!

Lots of Love!
Andrew, Holly, Kimsey and Josh
