Friday morning was getting the cabin back in order and the car packed for the first half of the trip back to Mom's. Hated to leave, but needed to get a start back. Made it through the construction at the Buena Vista with hardly a delay more than a regular stop light. Getting through Colorado Springs was a trial, though. Man, that was ugly. But ( Read more... )

Last full day in the mountains. Brian and I planned to go out for breakfast at a little café just past the Twin Lakes exit.

Whew! HOT!  The whole state I think was in a heat warning. 
The only good thing with the heat is that the bugs weren't really out.

Oddly, breakfast was the same thing as the day before. Still, I like the egg bake and to go get my own fruits and Brian thought it was kind of funny. We figured Robert isn’t use to people spending more than a night. Or ( Read more... )
