Urban Adventure
Most of our adventures take place on the open road or out in the wilderness. While we live in the city, we try to get out of the city and away from the crowds as often as we can. This past weekend was the exception to the rule. The company Lyle works for planned a fun family day in downtown Denver…

Weird Food
Lately I’ve been going a little snap-happy with my camera phone in some of the grocery stores around here. I just keep seeing all kinds of interesting things that I never even knew was a food. Plus… the pumpkin obsession continues. The food and beverage marketers really took off with that this year. That got me thinking about some of the…

Colorado River Road – Part 2
As we were driving along the Colorado River Road on Saturday, occasionally I would hold my camera up through the sun roof to take a picture. Lyle asked if I could post videos to my blog. I wasn’t sure. I figured I could since other people do, but I had never done it before. I recorded a few minutes of…

Colorado River Road Day Trip
This past Saturday we took a day trip to the mountains to enjoy the fall colors. Lyle planned out a route that took us to the headwaters of the Colorado River. It was around 400 miles so it took us most of the day. Here’s the route we followed: It was a beautiful day for a drive. Many of the…

Stone House Photo Walk
I finally persuaded Lyle, this past Saturday, to go on a photo walk with me. You may remember that this was one of the assignments for the Photo Challenge I participated in back in July. We weren’t able to do it then because Lyle was in a walking cast at the time. Even though it took us this long to…

Casa Bonita Review
We wanted to go to a special restaurant for Rebecca’s birthday this past weekend. She had greatly enjoyed the melodrama of the “train robbery” at Silverwood theme park a couple summers ago, so I thought she might get a kick out of going to Casa Bonita for the first time. Lyle and I had been there years ago with some…

Como Cemetery
Last week I told you about Geocaching in the mountains on Labor Day. Lyle knows I enjoy visiting cemeteries, particularly old ones, so he told the kids that the cache hidden at

Travel Quiz
Today I’m sharing a little travel quiz I picked up from Girl on the Move. Feel free to keep it going! Be sure to let me know if you do because I’d like to read your answers. What is your favorite seat on the airplane? First of all, I should say that I really don’t enjoy flying. I’m not afraid to…

Geocaching on Boreas Pass
Our geocaching trip this past Monday took us over Boreas Pass near where we went camping last month. Lyle noticed that there were a lot of geocaches in the area while we were camping, but we didn’t have a strong enough cell phone signal to download the coordinates at the time. We decided it would be a fun family activity…

Labor Day Tallies
We celebrated the Labor Day holiday with a day trip into the mountains to do some Geocaching as a family. We had a great time and I took some awesome pictures. I’ll show you more later, but for now, it’s important that I report the tallies of the day. Keeping tallies is something I learned to do from one of…
