...we arrived at our friends' home in Colorado for the weekend!
On the way there, we saw more beautiful scenery as we drove through the Colorado mountains. After lunch in the car, we stopped at a great playground in Vail...we had hoped the higher altitude would provide a cooler activity period, but it was still over 90 degrees. Then we came out of the Rocky Mountains to see the plains below and the prairie of middle America spreading out ahead. What a beautiful sight!
At just over 1000 miles from our home, we're already 1/4 of the way done with our whole trip! The rest of the trip should be slightly more relaxed. Our reason for rushing the first part and not stopping to see many of the sights was we thought it's much more likely that we will visit Utah and Colorado in the next few years, and then we'll be able to stop and enjoy a longer visit. Since we're going all the way to Ohio with this trip, we want to spend as much time at the furthest reaches, where we are not as likely to visit again anytime soon.
Sunday we worshipped with Carl and Esther, and their daughters, Annina and Katrina. Annina will be joining us for the rest of the trip to help out with the kids and see some parts of the country for the first time. We're so glad she's joining us!
Our plans to blog on the way have been hampered by the unsecured wireless connections at the hotels. We hope to find secured connections or figure out how to encrypt our passwords so we're not giving away info to anyone listening in. In the meantime, our postings may be less frequent than we intended. :(
