long time, no post

We have been on vacation for the past two weeks. We had such a great time, it's hard to come back home and face the piles of laundry and unpacking! We spent 3 nights at Mesa Verde, 3 nights in Ouray, 3 nights in Vail, and 3 nights at my parents' house in Parker. I will blog each portion separately...

We left on June 22 for Mesa Verde. We went to church that morning, then drove the 8 hours there, arriving around 9:00. We spent the next three days romping around the ancient Anasazi ruins and going on hikes. The ruins are carved into the sides of cliffs, often with sheer drop-offs below. It was fascinating to think that people actually lived that way for hundreds of years.

Enjoying the shade of the cliff dwellings.
