Back on the Road
Ok, I know I’m terrible at posting once we get home! Sorry, but life gets in the way, and I get very unmotivated to write once I get home! Our trip back from Colorado was uneventful and filled with coffee, french fries, more coffee, some tea, and a long drive! The night before we left,…

A Quiet Day
I woke up around midnight, went back to sleep, and never heard anybody leave. Amanda said she heard something shuffling around 2:30, though. We woke up to an empty house. Walking into the living room, Amanda said, “There are no people here!” So, all alone, we were off on a drive to Durango. The first…

A Rocky Afternoon
We were back on the road after our expensive, very toasted pizza. Our next stop was Creede. We had a bad taste in our mouths about this town. Last year, when we rolled through, we just stopped at the visitors center. It was the most unfriendly visitor center ever. They didn’t say one word to…

Only Need Two
We were up early again; for the purpose of traveling, I am enjoying it. Amanda was sleeping pretty well. So I figured I’d let her sleep, but she followed me to the living room shortly after. Today, we’d head on the east side of the mountains. We went to an extensive reservoir, and the kids…

Alpine Lake
I’m enjoying the earlier-than-usual wake-ups, with a bit of coffee time before heading out early. It’s kept the crowds down on our hikes. Mostly, all we see when we head to the trials are hunters. Then, by lunch, the hikers are out. The cool mornings are excellent for hiking, too, even though it’s a little…

Waterfall Hike
We didn’t sleep too well and were up early. I got up around at 2:30 and maybe got 30 minutes between then and 5:30 when I heard a spoon in a coffee cup and just gave up! Amanda wasn’t too far behind me. I grabbed a cup of black joe, but when Amanda was up…

Colorado Bound
We are the kind of couple that inherently will never leave when we say. When I said I wanted to roll out at 4:30 in the morning, Amanda said, “OK, 4, so we’d actually be on time!” This is our first road trip in our new Yukon. It’s an XL, so long like our Suburban.…

Much needed getaway
We have had an end-of-summer trip planned and mostly paid for to go to Colorado for a while. Enjoying the cool weather after a hot, busy summer last year was great. So we thought, why not do it again this year? I’m pretty sure this will become a thing for us from now on. Even…

There’s more
As if all that I laid out in the last post wasn’t enough, as the OxiClean guy would say, but wait there’s more! I had a cousin pass, and I went back to Louisiana for the funeral. Amanda had to stay behind because there was a women’s conference at the church she was leading worship…

A rough season
We’ve had some rough years, but this one has been particularly callous. I don’t even know where to begin this post, so I’ll start at the top. Buckle up because this is a rough ride. We did start the year with a nice trip to Colorado in February. But not even a week before we…
