How I am spending my weekends

[jane409]

As some of you know, I have recently traveled a good portion of the United States, and am now living in Colorado. This is a huge change for this little Florida flatlander, lol!

Here are some photos we took last weekend. We drove up to Mount Evans via the highest paved road in the country (elevation an approximate 14,000 feet).

Yesterday we went to the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO. This hotel is the inspiration for Stephen King's "The Shining". I hope to be able to get some photo's posted from there soon. These photos are at the end of the thumbnails, they are the last 26 or so.

*Footnote: people photo's are my 21 year old daughter. I have seen enuf of me over the years to not need another photograph, lol!

It really is amazing, dee. I look at those photos, and would wonder if the sky could really be so blue, if I didn't actually see it myself.

We're trying to get out every weekend and drive into different areas of the Rockies just to see what we can find. There are so many places to go! Some of the pics were taken while driving, through the windshield, which is why some are 'fuzzy'. We get out of the car often and hike a bit to see the sights.

Soon, we are hoping to hit one of those streams, and pan for gold, lol!

I'm sure you could have actually said what you do on weekends.
