Colorado

We had so much fun in Colorado.  When we got to Denver, we embarked upon a fun activity, thanks to Kara Saranich.  For my birthday, she gave us a fun Puzzling Adventure through the downtown Denver area, which is a mix of a race, a scavenger hunt and a trivia quizzes. We learned a bit about the city, and got to view a lot of cool art!  Thanks Kara!

Denver was a slower, relaxing, time for us.  We even took a bike ride through one of the city's large parks.  We needed this after a bunch of days of go-go-go speed!

We had a huge treat of traveling into the mountains outside Bolder to visit one of Brian's friends from middle/high school.  Sarah kindly allowed us to park our huge RV in her driveway-- after we made it up the mountain, and even do some laundry! We got to enjoy a great evening in Colorado at her gorgeous log cabin home meeting her son Jayce and her husband Paul, who cooked us up quite a feast.  We caught up on almost 15  years of life that evening; we hadn't seen Sarah shortly after our wedding!  Simon enjoyed thinking about what it would be like to live in the mountains, which is just a wee-bit different from our Shrewsbury suburban neighborhood!  And to top if off, Sarah's family has a hot tub, so the kids relished in another "pool" day! While we took off early the next morning to make our way to Wyoming, we had a great time in Colorado. 

Kids really enjoyed the dogs never-ending love of fetch! 

Fun to visit "old" friends!
