Day 3 - Colorado

Well, the camera worked! Here is the first picture of our entrance to the Rocky Mountains. Colorado is another beautiful state, and it was fun to drive through. My favorite town driving through the mountains was called Glennwood Springs. We saw river rafters, bikers, and just a few nice houses and buildings nestled among the hills.

We also drove through some of the big ski resorts, stopped at a dinosaur museum, and had our first experience with rain and fog in the mountains. That surprised me - I think I suspected it to be hot and dry the whole way.

The only disappointing thing with this leg of the journey is we got SUCH a late start and took SO long to get to Denver, that by the time we got there we decided to drive right through and now we are at a small inn in Fort Morgan, just east. It's so funny driving out of the mountains and experiencing the sudden change from constant hills and beauty to complete flat nothingness. Someone told me if I like the horizon I'll like this next leg of the journey. I told the kids there wouldn't be much to see so it could be a movie marathon.

Tonight, I really want to get my 8 hours of sleep, so will cut it short and tune in again soon!
