Before we had children Carl and I camped just outside of Breckenridge, Colorado over the fourth of July weekend, pitching our tent high up the mountain where two streams converged. Our nearest camping neighbors set up camp about one hundred yards away, but otherwise we were secluded. Beautiful. Carl got rip roaring drunk with our new neighbors the first night while I slept cozily in six layers and when he returned to our tent he crashed, wearing only one pair of long underwear. This proved to be a poor decision when he stepped outside a few hours later, feeling sick and hung over, to find snow on the ground.
Recalling the beauty of that campsite and the fun we had, we decided to find it and camp there this year.
We packed the Tahoe to the brim, made sure the DVD/VHS and headphones worked and left home within an hour of our planned departure time, a miracle that gave us high hopes for the week ahead.
This is one of many stops we made.
We arrived at Pop and Ardy's in time to grill burgers and enjoy conversation. I'm kicking myself for not taking a single picture while we were there.
After breakfast we loaded up again and drove to Denver to meet Laurie and her family IN PERSON! I "met" Laurie online last year when I searched for other dandy families and we hit it off immediately.
I know this is an abrupt ending to this post, but I've run out of time. Tune in tomorrow...well, hopefully tomorrow...to see pictures at Laurie's house and hear about Plan B.
Hey, Laurie--do you have any good pictures of our visit? I'd love to post them if you e-mail them to me.
