Colorado Trip 2 of 2

In an attempt to keep all my campaign promises I figured I had better get Colorado trip 2 of 2 blogged. After all, the trip was in 08 and we are now in 09.






I drove from TX to Colorado Spring to meet up with Erika’s parents, brother and wife, and my two nephews. They had taken the train from PA to visit Focus on the Family.





From there it was on to Grand Junction/ Fruita to my uncle's and to pick my parents up who had flown in from Indy. Like most trips to that area we took a drive up into the Colorado National Monument.

We also took a day trip to Rifle Falls. I have driven by it many times, but did not know it was there. This is one cool place that I plan to visit again.



From there I drove to the Grand Lake area to meet up with my good friend PH. PH and I used to work together when we both taught for Vincennes University. I got him into fly-fishing and this was our third annual fly-fishing trip to CO. We generally get a guide for a couple of days.









Who knows where 2009 will take us; however, I don’t plan to sit in a lawn chair by the backyard pool for long.
