The Denver Zoo is really cool. It’s fairly large, but not overwhelmingly so. I went with some friends (unfortunately K didn’t have the day off too and was working), and we were able to wander through the entire thing in 3 hours or so. They had all of the exhibits and animals I would expect…
If you’ve never been to a Renaissance Festival, we highly recommend you go. They are found all over the country and typically take place on weekends over the span of several months each year. In fact, we’ve been told by Renn Fest performers that there is a circuit of sorts that they travel around the…
When Maggie is unsure of something and is trying to get close, without totally committing to getting too close, she does the bob and weave dance. It’s hilarious. This video took place after she noticed the garter snake that we sometimes see around our yard go into these rocks. Of course, by the time we…
Funny video of Maggie digging in the dunes at Great Sand Dunes National Park. We don’t encourage her to dig any other time, but loved her reaction to being on the sand and did egg her on to get this entertaining video.
The South Rim trail is another must do hike at Roxborough State Park. This trail heads in the opposite direction of the trail that we had talked about in a previous post, but it also starts right at the visitor center. It is a 3 mile loop. The trail takes you up onto the outcroppings…

The reason being, it was Memorial Day weekend and since we planned our outing kind of last minute, the general agenda was mostly just get…
I periodically get emails from Monster with various news highlights. Usually I skim over them pretty quickly, but this last time there was an article that particularly caught my eye. I’ve included a link to it below. The article originated from Forbes on June 10, written by David Sturt and Todd Nordstrom. Why Americans Don’t…
A friend of ours recently sent this quote. It is really true, don’t be afraid to do what makes you feel alive. The benefits reach further than just to yourself; it can impact how you live your life and how you impact others! “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive,…
We finally had our first trailer outing of the year and it was really nice to get back out in that thing. We went down to Great Sand Dunes National Park, and when we arrived it was dark but were able to find a spot and set up shop. We decided to stay in San…
For our last stop on the Mountain Madness Vacation we hit up Vail. K found a great deal for us up at The Lodge at Cordillera. After settling into our room we spent the afternoon snowshoeing in the area. From a tip from one of the lodge employees, we drove a few minutes down the…
