Colorado Trip


We just got back from a trip to Colorado. Usually our trip consists of visiting relatives in Grand Junction, but this time we decided to make a vacation and visit some parts of Colorado that the kids have never been. We were able to still incorporate the visit with seeing grandpa and cousins and aunts and uncles. We journeyed to Ouray and Montrose, Colorado. In Ouray, we took the kids to Box Canon and enjoyed the hike to see the falls. We were supposed to visit the hot springs and go swimming, but our timing included lightning and rain, so the pool was closed. Instead, we headed to our hotel in Montrose and hit the pool there. The kids didn't miss out on anything! We took a boat tour in Morrow Point to see the Black Canyon of the Gunnison River. This was a 2 hour tour on a pontoon boat, and the kids seemed to enjoy themselves. We finished off the trip with seeing grandpa and family before heading home. Kris was excited to share a part of his childhood with his children and to share the beauty of the Colorado mountains with us. We are glad that he did!
