Day of Rest in Denver

Made it to Denver! We are officially half way on our trip back to Austin. To celebrate Chris and I went to a Colorado Rockies game today.

This picture was taken just before the clouds opened up and we got completely soaked running to the game!
The tickets that were given to us turned out to be in a club suite!!! All the hot dogs and lite beer we wanted.
The game was amazing. This was Chis' first major league game so he was hoping to see a Home Run. He was in luck; there were 5 blasts including a walk off for a Rockies win over the Reds: 10-9.
Good night Colorado!

Passing from Idaho to Wyoming

I made Chris pullover to check out these amazing parallel rock veins!  

Four States and Over 700 Miles

Chris and I drove for over 10 hours today covering some 700 plus miles across four states from Three Island Crossing, ID to Ft. Collins,CO.
Just as the sun was setting, we made it to Colorado.
