The housemates and I went camping last weekend. I haven’t camped much in my life but I think that may change – at least a little. I had such a fun time. I was relaxed almost the entire time and really enjoyed myself. We camped at Monarch Park Campground, a campground 30 minutes past Salida, … More Camping at Monarch Park Campground
My life has been fairly interesting and busy lately. Two weeks ago I went to Grand Lake on a family vacation. I loved getting to spend time with my family – two of my cousins even came.

We hiked along the Flatirons, something I wanted to do, and spent a couple hours looking at … More Hiking, tea, and Lydia
Friday night Gene and I took Sidney and Aaron to Casa Bonita. An icon of Denver, we thought Aaron would enjoy the overly done restaurant. I’m happy to say he did. Sidney had never been either so it was doubly fun to watch their reactions to what is Casa Bonita. As Sidney so eloquently summed … More Casa Bonita, History Colorado Center, and Colorado Springs
