Colorado Springs Trips

I spent a good deal of the day today (Saturday, June 27, 2009) on the computer finalizing the itinerary for our Colorado summer vacation. Hotels have been booked. In fact, I inadvertantely booked an extra night at the Holiday Inn Rocky Mountain …

It was a really long drive. We got a late start Thursday and drove through storms so we didn't get as far as we planned. I couldn't drive any farther so we pulled off in Stuart, Iowa. All the hotels were full. I couldn't drive any more so we …

This was really two trips in one: First to visit our daughter, who had moved to Denver, and see the Rockies and some sites in the area. Second to take a six day trip, with her, to see Wyoming and visit three places I always wanted to see: Jackson …

Our trip route on Google Maps. I'll admit it - I'm a maximizer. Why else would I build an entire family roadtrip to the Southwest in late spring based solely on the fact that National Car Rental had a great one-way rate for just about any sized …

The pile has begun in the dining room. Just 4 days to go before we hit the road. Can't wait! Day 1 is in the bag.... Thursday night, Sleep Inn... Lincoln Nebraska. We had a wonderful... long... day of driving from Michigan to here... about …

I'm leaving about an hour late and still have to stop and get ice and make sure my tires are inflated. Well, it's time! My first stop of the day is a rest area outside Peoria. It looks like I will be running into rain soon and probably on into …

Our trip started with my flight from Boston to Denver on Friday afternoon (June 15). I arrived ok, in fact a little early, but Tiffany had a horrible evening struggling to get out of Seattle after United cancelled her 5:15pm flight. She was …

I got up early this morning wanting to be on the road at 6 in the morning. We did not end up leaving until 10 am. It seems that my daughter was having a hard time leaving her cat. It took about 11/2 hours for her to give the instructions on …
