Rocky Mountain Tops


Hey everyone.. we are sitting at a Starbucks right now drinking down a couple of iced coffees and having a small breakfast before hitting the road to drive through the mountains into west Colorado where we will be doing some camping. We spent yesterday afternoon in Boulder, CO.. and loved it here. It's an awesome town with a great street in downtown that is closed off to traffic and filled with shops, restaurants, and people. We took about an hour to drive up Flagstaff road which climbs up one of the mountains right in Boulder, and gives some great scenery overlooking Boulder and even Denver to the east, and the "14 footers", as they call them here, to the west. The "14 footers" are the white-capped mountains 14,000 feet and higher.

We will have to fill in some more details later, as we are about to start driving now.. but just wanted to drop a quick note because it might be a few days before we can updated again and post all of our Boulder pictures!

Have a great Memorial Day everyone!! Hopefully the rain and clouds will finally clear up sometime while we're driving... it's been days of rain and storms.

  2. P.S. Forgot to mention - Glad you made the "out of the way" trip to Boulder since you enjoyed it... just don't be thinking of moving there too soon :)

  3. 3 perfect days back here in PA over the holiday weekend. Looks like the Memorial Day weather gods messsed up because the holiday is over and it is cold damp and cloudy. It worked out well for a change. Hope all the bad weather is behind you. Keep those pictures coming.
