Mesa Verde!!
Mesa Verde is a national park outside Cortez, Colorado. It is 8500 feet in elevation and is the home of many cliff dwellings where people lived in the 1200 and 1300's. It is very interesting and beautiful! We took a tour to see the City Palace, where Kimsey thought it was her own personal castle! This was how my grandparents and my family spent our one full day together and it was great! The picture below is driving up to the top of Mesa Verde. 
You can tell by some of the trees, they did have a fire several years ago.
Kimsey and her Grandaddy...
Andrew and his Little Man
Grandaddy and Me..it was too beautiful not to take pictures with the ones you love!

This is the City Palace from a distance
If you look close, at the middle of the picture in the alcove, you'll see more buildings
The Canyon...much smaller than the famous Grand Canyon, but still huge!
My Girl and Me!
We got to tour the City Palace, and to get up to it, we went down a narrow, steep trail, and the climbed a ladder! Daddy and daughter on the tour...

We had a great time! Grandaddy, Andrew, Kimsey and I finished the tour and found Grandmother and Joshua sacked out asleep in the car! It was so sweet! We picniced in all that beauty for lunch, took some more scenice drives and then headed back to Durango! We ofcourse found the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, which I highly reccomend! Our trip was great! This was our first trip off campus since we have been here, and it was much needed! I think we enjoyed it so much we might be checking out more places to visit out west!
Until Next Time,

We never talked about your CO trip so I enjoyed seeing these pictures. I especially love the pic of Kimsey and her great-granddaddy - printworthy in my opinion!!
