The Long Afternoon Drive

Fourth of July weekend, Todd, Jeff, Maxine and I took a drive into Estes Park to see the wild life. Jeff and Maxine had not seen a Colorado "In the green" Summer.

We hiked to the top of the park were we watch four men ski off the mountain in the snow patches. As you can see, there is not much snow. We saw deer, moose, and elk. Everyone was having such a great time we never turned around, and ended up spending the night in Steamboat Springs.

In Steamboat we enjoyed a great Mexican dinner on the roof top as we watched the fireworks. This was the first time I have never packed for a road trip. We stopped and picked up the basics like a toothbrush and toothpaste to make it through the night. A wonderful trip that was greatly needed but unexpected.
