Colorado Road Trip

I have the day off and I was thinking I haven't put any pictures up of my roadtrip to Colorado. I went back in May...so it's a little bit late to post, but that's alright. If I remember, I'll have to bring my pictures this weekend to the anniversary party. It was a very quick vacation, but a lot of fun no less. We left Winona on a Monday morning and got to Laura's house by about 7:30 that night in Longmont Colorado. I drove the whole way out there. It took us about 13 hours. I didn't think that was bad going 950+ miles. Supper was waiting for us when we got to Laura's house. The next day we ventured to Denver. We went to the zoo and to the science museum to see the body works display. I hear that display is at the Science Museum in the cities too. It was pretty cool. The next day we went back to Denver and went to the Botanical Gardens and the Hard Rock Cafe and then shopping downtown Denver for a little while. That was a lot of fun too. Then, the next day we drove up into the mountains to Rocky Mountain National Park. It was absolutely gorgeous! Laura lives about half an hour from the Park, so we didn't have to drive far at all. We watched a couple movies and played a couple games of Monopoly. Laura has a 6 and a 4 year old brother, so we had fun entertaining them. On our trip back, we stopped in Lincoln, Nebraska at an International Licorice Store. It wasn't what I expected at all. They said they are more of an online store, so it wasn't all that interesting. It was about 99 degrees when we were there, so it was hot! It sure was nice to stop and get out of the car for a little bit though. We got back to Winona about 11:30 that night. I drove the whole way back home too. So...my vacation in a nutshell!
