Colorado...the beginning

We arrived at Howies (our good friend) place on Thursday night and have been having a blast! 
On Friday, he had friends from Cleveland visit too. We had pizza and fun fun fun.
Saturday we got together with Matt. We went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. We then went to a vegan place for dinner that had amazing food. When we came back, Howies friends from Cleveland were back. They had an unexpected complication and had to stay another day. Since their hotel was booked full, they stayed here. We had a biiig sleepover. 14 total in the house. 17 if you include the dogs and cat.
On Monday, we walked around Manitou Springs (where he lives), seeing an art studio and doing some shopping. Lunch was beneigts and ice cream. The kids loved it! Then we drove to Boulder and went on a hike with Matt. We again had dinner, this time at an Indian place. Again, it wad delicious.

Today we trekked out of Monument Valley and headed east. We visited 4 Corners, a place Sarah has wanted to go for 30 years.   Next, we went to Cortez CO, where we set up camp for the night. We had a yummy lunch at The Farm Bistro and swam for about 2 hours. We ran into someone who was "with" us at Monument Valley and they told us to see Mesa Verde because its so close and really pretty. It did not disappoint.

What a day! We've been having a,blast touring and...swimming. Today we woke up early and drove to Mt Rushmore. The kids were amazed. They loved it. We saw plaques for all the states and territories. Found NY! After Mt Rushmore, we HAD to visit Crazy Horse. I swear, the kids didnt think it was real! When we pulled up they shouted that theyve heard of it on NatGeo. They were very excited. It looked different than when Stefanie and I went 11 years ago. Of course, no trip is complete without a visit,to the air and space museum. And naturally, we ended the day with 6 hours of swimming. 😳
