Last week Elden and I were blessed to get away to Colorado for a week without kids to celebrate our 10 yr anniversary! We decided to bring our motorcycle with us and ride through the mountains looking at God's beautiful scenery. The children were fortunate enough to also go on vacation with Elden's family (a BIG THANK YOU!!) to the Ozarks during the week as well. So we were both on vacation, just at different places. Although we missed the kids dearly, we knew they were also having fun and were being well cared for or should I say spoiled?
Anyway, on Monday we rode almost to Utah border and saw some beautiful cliffs all around as we road on a windy road. That was probably one of our favorite rides, since we've never been on that road before. On Tuesday, we just went to Breckenridge for the morning and did a little shopping in the afternoon in Silverthorne. On Wednesday, we had the big day of going to Rocky Mountain National Park and when we got to the top it started to hail on us. That was nice, especially since we didn't have helmets on. I felt so bad for Elden, since his head just got sunburned the day before. Thursday we went to Vail area and started packing for home. We were thankful to have a hot tub to sit in after each day of riding in our resort at Keystone, especially after Wednesday's ride! Friday we took off early and went to Sturges on the way home. We also went to see Mount Rushmore, which was neat since neither of us have seen that before. It was a beautiful riding around the Sturges area with lakes and cliffs to look at. We put on 1200 miles on our motorcycle, so we definitely got out use out of bringing it with us. We had lots of great memories of Colorado and we are thankful for the 10 years of marriage God has blessed us with!
