Day 12: Colorado Springs to Estes Park
We spent a slow morning in Colorado Springs. We had to leave the RV park by noon and couldn’t check in to the RV park near Estes Park until 2 so we took our time. It was a nice change of pace. Every morning we have had school or somewhere to be, so we took advantage of some down time.
I had to run to Target because although it was 91 degrees that day in Colorado Springs, the forecast shows Estes Park to have a high of 29 and a low of 19 on Tuesday. So there I was sweating in the parking lot while hauling gloves, hats and appropriate shoes to the truck.
We headed out of Colorado Springs and on our route experienced very hazy skies due to the forest fires. Colorado has a state-wide fire ban and I can understand why.
We parked our RV at a site that is 45 minutes away from Estes Park because we were meeting my parents to stay in a house until Friday. There was ash falling out of the sky as we unloaded our rig. It felt strange moving all of our things out of the trailer and no doubt we looked like the Beverly Hillbillies rolling into Estes Park. Our truck was stuffed!
The drive to Estes Park was beautiful! The kids even put their ipads down to admire the natural beauty. Ok, so we made them put their ipads down to admire the natural beauty, but when I asked Hudson if he was glad he saw the landscape he replied with a resounding “yes” so I felt that was a win.
The house is owned by a family friend and it really is amazing! The kids were blown away (so were we!) and my parents made a delicious steak dinner when we arrived. The hot tub was the kids’ favorite feature so far.
We are thankful to be here and look forward to spending the week in Estes Park!
Until next time…
