... Skippy to Annie's house. Flynn was at wrestling practice, so we gave Annie all the "care and feeding" instructions. I hope we didn't overwhelm her with TMI. Spent a restful night at the motel; really needed it -- we were exhausted. I hope we can sleep as well on the long flight!

... snowshoeing tours are given so you are able to take in Colorado's natural wonders. Snowmass also features an indoor paintball area, a NASTAR course, and tube town. Snowmass resort or aspen condo rental has something for everyone to do and enjoy.<br><br><br>

Today Frank stayed home to make us his famous pork chili. Takes hours of love and we were all grateful. Antonio went for another long marathon training run. Chuck, Hector &amp; Diana went foraging for Jack In The Box, an Apple store and a double feature ;) "Couples Retreat" &amp; "Whip It" both good and more importantly cheap. Only $6.50 and you know we did the 2 fer 1 cause we're geto(boys) like that. Made it back to home base in time to see Dollhouse and feast on dinner. Great day for all.

... the first turns of the season, skiers and snowboarders will have access to a top-to-bottom run consisting of 1,000 vertical feet via Chair 1. The trails Catwalk, Mambo and Homerun make up this opening day run which is over a mile in length. When this news came in to the Ski Country office ...

... thru Aspen Park, a few more towns that I fell asleep thru, Morrison, and eventually back to Bern's house. The next time I come to Colorado, I will definitely be spending a few nights in the Pike's Peak area, as well as more time downtown. <br><br>Tomorrow is Boulder, lots of fun things planned. Saturday, with the exception of the Coors brewery tour, is pretty open. Then Sunday I return home. It will be bittersweet. Goodnight!

With our van loaded, we traveled to Colorado Springs. Right before the border with Colorado we drove through a thunderstorm. It was something I've never experienced before. The kids were asleep, amazing! <br>We stayed in the building where Ted's work is. It has a little apartment with a little kitchen and bathroom area. <br>2 days later it was my birthday. We spent the day in an outdoor swimming pool with Amy and Ella. It was a lot ...

... guide was rather informational and provided some insight into the geology of the caves and the history. The cave is completely limestone, a cool 54 degrees. There were several stalactite formations throughout the caves. The best thing is for most of the tour, our only light source was the lanturn.... I wish I could have caught that aspect of the tour.... But the camera was not letting me do that. Apres the end of the tour I returned to ...

... the country, then where do I really want to go? And more importantly, will I ever have the opportunity to take on a trip of this size and scope ever again? For a few days I just let myself quiet down and started to listen to my heart. Where do I really want to go? I kept asking myself that question over and over again. It didn't take long for the answer to arise. In fact, I think I knew the answer all along. "I want to go to India ...

... it was time to load the Xterra and start our road trip back to Florida. We drove for 4 days before stopping to see Aaron's family in Georgia. After a 2 day visit we continued down to Florida to our final stop at my mom's house. We will now have 3 weeks to visit friends and family in Florida and get all of our gear ready for Antarctica. We are so excited! It is hard to believe that we will actually be leaving soon! But in a way we can't wait because the hot weather here is about to kill us!

... I have met great people along the way and have amazing friends and family to come home to. No complaints. I would love to figure out a way to work travelling into the usual routine. It is such a good experience to get out of our comfort zone and away from the familiar. Time moves more slowly, you can enjoy the moment that you're in....and, there are about half a dozen amazing countries just outside our doorstep in Central America. I would happily go back to any of the countries I ...
