Colorado or Bust...

Warning...lots of pictures!



Finally on the road and Colorado bound! Bags are packed and car is loaded with way more than we would ever need, but hey, it's vacation!



Trent checking out the snack selection. Mental note...Trent prefers iced not frosted animal crackers!


130 miles left to Denver. However, the GPS failed me on the way home and left a very grumpy driver trying to navigate from Arby's to the interstate in Sterling, Colorado.



Day 2 in Colorado: After telling Trent not to fall in the river with my camera, I proceeded to carefully step on the rocks to get my own view of the river when....SWOOSH! I slipped on a wet rock and fell right in. Thankfully only my foot got wet, but was it cold!


Day 3: White water rafting...I was so nervous, but the Colorado River is actually quite calm in August. By the end I actually could have handled a little more adventure!


Huge rock along the trail of a ridiculous hike...


While most of a were in agreement that this hike was ridiculous, the view at the top was pretty cool. There was a lake surrounded by more mountains.


Day 4: More hiking...Trent likes to choose the most difficult hikes, but again, worth it at the end!



Looking down at the 100 foot waterfall...don't fall in!

Day 5: Per my request...Starbucks in Beaver Creek! My mocha smoothie was delicious!

Day 6: Welcome to the Good Life :)
Home sweet home!

6 days, good times, lots of laughs, amazing pictures and 1,520 miles!
Next, it's back to the real world and back to school.
