Colorado Update
Here is our Colorado Update:
Monday we went to Peak 8 Breckenridge Fun Park. This was a fun day, except for the sun burn. You forget how much closer you are to the sun, until you get the sunburn which burns for days. At the fun park we went alpine sliding; gem hunting; ran a maze; played miniature gold; jumped on a bungee trampoline; and rock climbing.
Tuesday was filled with a train ride from Leadville. We went up about 1,000 feet. It was about a 2 hour ride and was filled with beautiful mountain scenery.
Still having a great time. More updates to come.
PS Sorry pictures are having a difficult time uploading. You will just have to trust me. It was a fun couple of days.

Califoria to Colorado
We have officially made it to Breckenridge, Colorado. We are already having a GREAT time, but really enjoyed our trip out here. It usually takes about 15 hours (straight through) to get here, but we decided to leave on Thursday and make some stops on the way. Here is a summary of our trip:
We stopped in Winslow, Arizona to look at a Meteor Crater. It was huge and unimaginable how a big rock from space landed there millions of years ago. What do you know?
Lastly, we went to the Royal Gorge Suspension Bridge. We were able to take an incline railway down to the river, ride an aerial tram across, and walk and drive across the bridge. This was a fun experience.
So, now we are in Breckenridge (by the way-the house is everything we thought it would be...thank you Jerel and Nieta), and our days will be filled with more fun. Updates to come.

Our next tourist stop was the Four Corners. This picture says it all.
We then went to the Great Sand Dunes near Alamosa, Colorado. This is really a beautiful site to see.

Summer Vacation Number 2, 2010
We are lucky this year to enjoy two summer vacations...Kansas and Colorado.
Next week, we will be leaving to meet the Devor Family in Breckenridge, Colorado. This vacation will include some amusement park fun, white water rafting, train ride, and alpine sliding. We are all looking forward to the trip and spending time with the family. But my shallow side must come out, I am really looking forward to the house. It is beautiful! Jerel and Nieta found this house, and I can't wait to see it in person. Here is a preview!
So, if I don't return in a couple of weeks you will know where to find me. I will be in the wing back, leather chair next to the floor to ceiling picture windows reading a book and drinking wine. Please knock before entering! Happy SUMMER VACATIOIN everyone!
(Don't be jealous you Hawaii and Caribbean island vacationers)
