Back from vacation



We got back from vacation Friday night. When we left we really didn't know where we were going. We spent Saturday night in Raton Pass and then went on to Colorado. We stopped at the Trinidad visitor's center and got info on different areas, mainly west of Colorado Springs, but then we got in the motor home and Mike decided to go on to Estes Park. We got there Sunday evening and toured Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park and the Stanley hotel on Monday. When we got up Tuesday morning, Mike decided he had seen enough of Estes Park and wanted to go back to Colorado Springs. On Wednesday we saw Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Manitou Springs and Seven Falls. We had picked up a tourist guide on Colorado Springs with ten different 10 hour trips. We managed to see three of them (which should have taken 30 hours) on that one day. Doesn't that sound relaxing??? We then took Thursday and Friday to drive home. Not one of the most relaxing vacations we've had, but we did enjoy ourselves. Rocky Mt. was soooo cold!!! There was still alot of snow on the ground at the Rockies and also at Pike's Peak.

Daddy is suppose to go into the hospital tomorrow for his next chemo treatment. Here's a picture of him and mom at their apartment.

Wow! Sounds so relaxing. You hadn't told me that you toured the Stanley. How scarey.

Papaw looks different with no hair. That is a good picture of Nana and Papaw!
