Colorado Vacation Recap
On Sunday we (Denny, Melissa, Alora, Alliana and myself) piled into the car and left for Colorado. We made it out to Hillrose around 9 p.m. We only had to stop 2 times…we were relieved since we were traveling with a 2 year old and a 13 wk old.
Monday we got up and took our time getting ready and then Melissa and I headed for Denver to meet up with our friend Matt DeSmidt. We went down to the 16th street mall and then we ate dinner at Two Fisted Mario’s. It was good pizza.
Tuesday Melissa and I took Alora to the Denver Children’s Museum. We had a great time playing all of the games and going through all of the little rooms. Alora painted a picture and had a blast at the museum. Melissa and I had fun too. After that we went to the Aquarium. It was late in the afternoon and Alora had not eaten yet, so we just ate at the restaurant and Alora got to see the fish in the tank so she was happy.
Wednesday Melissa and I drove to the mountains. We went to Estes Park. I have never been to the mountains, so this was my favorite part of the trip. It was a long drive, but driving through the mountains was truly amazing. We found a little restaurant to eat at and then we walked around all the shops there. We stopped for a few photos on the way back and had a great day away together. I am blessed to be married to Melissa.
Thursday of course was Thanksgiving so we went to Rich and Jenny’s house. Jenny is Melissa’s cousin. They have 4 kids. Her other cousin Chris came as well. It was a good time. We went out on Thursday night for a little shopping and that was…..well crazy.
Friday morning we got up and watched the Iowa/Nebraska game (waste of time) and then headed for home. We had a good drive home. The girls did excellent.
God really blessed our trip with a place to stay. Denny watched the girls for us a lot so we could go and do a lot of things we could not have done with the girls. God gave us safe travel. It was a blessed time and I am very thankful for the break.
