2017: Made a list of potential campgrounds to call. Spoke to Jon at Sportsmans -sounds like a great deal, if only it was closer to any of the towns and hadbetter internet/cell reception. There was a cancellation and so I rode tothe dentist to get cleaned. Once again, need to get the wisdoms pulled.Norma's lasagna for supper, huzzah!
2018: Woke at Joni and Jim's, had breakfast and packed, and then hit the road.Headed north for a trip through Rocky Mountain National Park - great to seemore of the place, cruising along in the rented convertable VW Bug with thetop down. Beautiful country and a great way to make the trip different andsee more of our state. Long trip, though - hit the road at 9 and it wasabout 8 when we got home. I unpacked the car while Ashley made sometortellini for supper. We ate, unpacked, and then it was time for showersand bed. Beautiful drive, but long day in the car! Great to be home,together!
2019: In to work and met Hugo, the new rep for a couple of the framing companies.Took care of some work chores. Headed to pick up Ashley and we went to theHwy 3 Roadhouse (cajun-inspired!) for supper. Nice to try somewhere new.Then a walk along the river trail and over to the college to meet Eli andLauren and Nathan and Jenny for a concert. Fun to try something different.Then home for bed.
2020: In to the store early afternoon, running errands on the way, and worked ongetting the camera system installed. Not done but good progress was made.Then home for the evening and painted the old porch light to put outsidethe back door. Watched an episode of Psych before heading to bed.
2021: Up early to load the car and hit the road. We dropped Bailee off at theairport then headed down to Albuquerque to spend the weekend with Tim andLisa. Great to see them - it's been far too long. We chatted and caught upa bit. Tim grilled burgers for lunch and then they made pizza (in cast ironon the grill) for supper. Tim set up for the book club's movie night(Nomadland) then we headed to Marble where we met up with Austin andPatrick. Back to the house and visited with Tim and Lisa for a bit beforeheading to bed.
2022: It rained off and on most of the day so we stayed home for most of it.Great to have the rain, even if it made us all pretty low energy. We got abit over an inch, according to the rain gauge.
2023: We all slept late - nice to have a lazy rest day. After breakfast in thehotel bistro we walked around downtown. Checked out a local bookstore. Thenan early naptime for everyone. Walked over to the Steampot for a tasty(late) lunch and a rainbow cake for dessert afterward. Back home and Icaught up on some work chores, checked into the flights for tomorrow, anddid laundry while Ashley and Lily played in the pool. We grabbed a happyhour light supper, cleaned up for the day and early bed time for everyonefor tomorrow's travel day.
