My Colorado Adventure
As time slowly approached my 24th birthday in may I began thinking, should I do the same old stuff this year party, cake, drinks, blah! No I thought! This being my 24th birthday I feel as if it is a transition to an older phase in my life, so some partying but more just plain enjoying my time. I set off to do somthing different! With a little help and motivation from my dear friend sara, I decided I would go on a cross colorado adventure! I decided to spend my first night with my dear friend Louis and her Fiance' Leo in Glennwood springs. Living in Pueblo, and having driven as far as Fort Collins and back, I thought I was up to the 4 hour challenge of making it by myself alive! ( Because my other half couldnt come because he had to work). I set off, after much debate on which routte I would take and the pros and cons of the situation I decided to take a less popular routte venturing through Canon City and up, never having driven that routte and with the directions on a sticky note my journey was underway. Up through Fairplay, and Buena vista, and Frisco and then Brekenridge and finally 4 hours 10 min later I made it to beautiful Glennwood springs.! ! This not so popular drive was the most amazing thing I have ever driven on, it made me stop three or four times to just appreciate God and what an amazing world he had made for us! After my wonderful night in Glennwood, Louis jumped in my car and we were off again to meet our friends in Denver. Heading the opposite direction from wich I came to Glennwood we went through a slew of amazing towns like Vail, George town, and Idaho Springs on the way back! So amazing! After meeting my dear friends in Denver I climbed back in the old mustange and headed down through Denver, Castle Rock, and Colorado springs just to end up in good ol pueblo again! When I got home I arrived to a birthday BBQ for me at my parents house! What a wonderful adventure~Im so glad I got to see and appreciate Gods wonderful beauty!!!!!!!
