Day 15 & 16: Estes Park

Day 15 In the past, when people would ask, mountains or the beach?, I would immediately answer beach. After spending a few days here I think my answer will now be “both.” Why choose? The snow was still around on day 15 and it… Continue Reading “Day 15 & 16: Estes Park”

Day 14: Estes Park

The forecast predicted snow, but as kids from Texas we held our breath. I remember multiple times as a kid being told it “might snow” only to see a little ice on the road. Estes Park did disappoint. We woke up to bright white… Continue Reading “Day 14: Estes Park”

Day 13: Estes Park

For the first time, I’m playing catch up with this blog! Our first full day in Estes Park was great! It was nice to have a time off of work and school on a week day. The forecast showed some freezing weather so Jordan… Continue Reading “Day 13: Estes Park”

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… Continue Reading “Day 12: Colorado Springs to Estes Park”

Day 11: Colorado Springs and Denver

We were expecting a morning where everyone slept in a little given it was Saturday, but Lucy was up before 6 am with a bloody nose. She actually thought the whole thing was cool because Hudson is usually the one that has nose bleeds… Continue Reading “Day 11: Colorado Springs and Denver”

Day 10: Travel Day

Today was not as exciting as the previous two days. We woke up, started school and work, and prepared to leave Alamosa, CO. The RV park we stayed at, Base Family Camp, was so great. They kids had space to roam and play between… Continue Reading “Day 10: Travel Day”

Day 9: Great Sand Dunes

I was able to wash my hair. I know this is the update you were all waiting for. Our hot water seems to be working much better. I’m so thankful Jordan is a “fixer.” Our kids will say all the time, “Dad is so… Continue Reading “Day 9: Great Sand Dunes”

Day 8: Alamosa and Great Sand Dunes National Park

Today was the kind of day I dreamed about when we planned this trip. We woke up to a beautiful landscape and crisp 42 degrees. I let the kids sleep in and miss their morning Zoom calls (I emailed the teachers) since we got… Continue Reading “Day 8: Alamosa and Great Sand Dunes National Park”

Day 7: Amarillo

Today was a low-key day. The kids had school and Jordan worked from the travel trailer until we left for Colorado! Yes, we traveled out of the state of Texas and didn’t come back! Hudson had a long day of zoom calls. He is… Continue Reading “Day 7: Amarillo”

Day 6: Amarillo. Again.

Before I go into today, let me recap night five really quick. Once Angelo dropped us off and we were safe and sound in our travel trailer Jordan realized he had left his phone in the tow truck (Side note: I’m thinking of giving… Continue Reading “Day 6: Amarillo. Again.”
