We booked a summer vacation to Colorado for 5 days! Our base was Estes Park which is the gateway to the Rocky Mountain National Park. We arrived on a Wednesday and that night we just ordered Dominos Pizza and relaxed at the hotel (Best Western). The next day, we took a hike around Lily Lake which is on the back side of the park. It was scenic and caught some nice reflections from the mountains. Not much wildlife except geese. Afterwards, we went to another hiking place which promised waterfalls but after 30 minutes of walking, we turned around. In the afternoon, we decided to go to Fun City and played mini gold along with go karting! A lot of fun for sure. The next day, we drove to Denver and spent all day taking the free bus up and down the main street and took Aiden to a children’s museum. We also took a trolley which went to Mile High Stadium and the aquarium. The following day we took the Trail Ridge Road all the way to Alpine Village in the Rocky Mountains. Some amazing scenery and even ran into Sue Niblock’s ex by coincidence. Boulder was next later that day and we just saw the Flatirons and walked down Pearl Street and ate Japanese food. A fun trip and even did a cable car up the mountain to see some more great views. Wildlife we saw included elk, moose, chipmunk, coyote, and even a marmot. Great state and hope to be back during the winter to do some skiing!
