Colorado

On July 18th (my birthday) - July 23rd, Joy and I went to Colorado with my parents and their longtime friends the Caldwells. I wish Rob could have come to see how beautiful it was. We flew into Denver and rented a Suburban to fit 8 for when Lloyd and his girlfriend Alyssa joined us. From the airport we drove to Estes Park (where Lloyd lives) where we stayed 2 nights. The first night we went for my birthday dinner to eat at Baldpate Inn. They have the world's largest key collection and I posted a picture of one of their most famous keys. The next day we went to the Rocky Mountain National Park to see where Lloyd works and go on his Tundra hike. It was truly amazing to see God's beauty around us as we explored the park. Actually, the whole trip was full of beautiful scenery. On Monday we loaded up the Suburban and headed south to Durango. It was an all day drive with parts of the highway being the scariest I've ever traveled on. Tuesday morning, we went rafting and then drove to Silverton where we took the train back to Durango that afternoon. On Wednesday, we went to Mesa Verde and explored the Cliff Dwellings...which was my favorite part of the trip!! Enjoy my photos.
