Colorado Trip

February 2009

Maya's Birthday

 

We had a wonderful trip to Colorado to visit Jenn, Chris, Maya and Lexi. We went to celebrate Maya's birthday - yes, she is a teenager now. We also planned to attend her band concert, but she was unable to participate because her partner was sick. So, we got a private concert back at the house. One benefit to that was that Emma and Lexi got a private saxophone lesson back at home. Oh yes, Emma went along with us since her Mom let her miss preschool. While there, we took the Cog Railroad to the top of Pike's Peak. The scenery was beautiful and the temperature was cold. It starts at Manitou Springs and climbs 7,500 feet in elevation to Pike's Peak at 14,115 feet elevation, over an 8 mile railway. On the way to Colorado we stayed the night at the Glenwood Springs Resort where we camped last summer. No, we didn't camp. We wanted to check out the cabins in hopes of staying in one of the cabins this next summer. Oh, if you click on the link on the large version of the river bank picture, you can see the same river bank with the kids playing in the mud last summer. No mud this time! Enjoy the pictures below. Click on any one of them to see the larger version.
