Vacation

Greetings from the road. For the past week I’ve had family in Colorado and I’ve been hanging out with them. I’m currently in Estes Park. This is part 1 one of the adventures with my family. This segment includes the time spent in the Denver area. On July 25th, I took my parents up Mt. Evans via the road. Pops survived. My brother’s family arrived later that day.

We spent Saturday the 26th hiking the Brother and the Sisters near Evergreen.

On Sunday we went to Red Rocks. It got hot quick. Sunday evening was spent at the Rapids game by Jim, Stacy, Carter, and me. The Rapids lost 2-0. They are now 1-3-1 in the games that I attended. Carter got a horn at the game. He has gotten good at blowing it.

On Monday we went the Denver Mint. They were not making any money at the time because of a mistake. It was still an interesting tour. Afterwards we went to the Wynkoop Brewing Company and tried all their beers. Nobody was impressed with their beers. After lunch, we did a quick visit to the Tattered Cover bookstore. We couldn’t stay long it was time for Cara to take a nap. We had a quick picnic that evening near my place. It was quite windy. The lightning started as we were leaving.

Stay tuned for part 2…
