After recovering for five days at home, we hit the road again...this time to Denver. This was an even longer drive...12 hours, not including the necessary stops every 2 hours for the dog. After leaving in the pouring rain at 4 am, and driving with limited visibility (while pulling dad's dog trailer) for numerous hours, we finally made it to Denver. Oh what a beautiful place to be...the mountains were spectacular! I almost forgot just how much I miss seeing mountains, let alone hiking in them! After spending a couple of days driving around the area, and walking around in the mountains above Boulder as well as Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs, we fell in love with the area and realized that this is where we want to be.

didn't see or hear any mountain lions!
Randy's folks even made the trip over from Nevada to pick up the trailer, so we got the added bonus of spending some time with family. It was a wonderful time, even with problems at the hotel (lost our reservation, overbooked the folks' room, major water main break - no water for 12+ hours) and a minor fender bender (really, the car came out of nowhere!!!). Since we brought our golf clubs, we decided to cut our stay just a little short to make the trip home over two days instead of one...this allowed us to play 9 holes in Colorado AND Nebraska - what a great way to end the trip!
All in all, the road trips this summer have proved successful - we have decided to move to the Denver area in the spring! YAY - we finally made a decision! LOL I guess my question is this: Can we still be Cowboy fans in Bronco territory?!

Oh, so far away! :( I'm glad you've finally made the decision and decided on such a beautiful place.
I want to go to Colorado...I think it is one of the most beautiful parts of the whole country (aside of course from the south where it's just heaven).
No, you need to move to Texas where you can be supported as a Cowboy fan. Okay, Colorado is beautiful...you'll just have to come down and visit. I'll bet it's nice to know where you'll be going next spring. How exciting! That's a great picture of you and Randy.
