vacation

Where do I begin? We had a great week. We took off saturday the 29th around 4:30 and drove out to Iowa the first night. We made it to Melanie's (Aurora) around 8:00 on Sunday. We went & visited Bishop's Castle south west of Colorado Springs on Monday. We took lots of pictures. Crazy castle and Jim Bishop (the owner) is crazier. "The journey to anywhere is usually what it's all about, not the destination". This is always true in Colorado. We went up to Estes Park Tuesday and took a road up to the gift shop at 12,000', then took 40 & 70 back to Melanie's. You'll have to see the pictures, although pictures do not cut it! Weds. Melanie went with us to Molly Brown's old house downtown & the Byers / Evans house. They were great. Thursday we went back up to Estes Park,but took Route 7. We got a lot of cool things in Estes Park. Cecile got out shopped!! Friday Melanie, Bebo, Cecile & I went to a Glacier. That was probably the highlight of the week. Spending time with Mel and Bebo was cool. We drove straight thru from Denver to G.R. (18 hours) We still have another week of vacation (to work on the yard)
