pics from the road

we've been keeping busy and having a great time on our road trip. yesterday and today were by far the best days yet! here are some photos of a bit of what we've been up to...

 rocky mountain national park!

checking out some elk...


 lots of this little face (can't get enough!)...

 

our family of three high in the mountains...

a visit to bear lake in the park. still lots of snow up there!


some time spent admiring these creatures...


and then on to the celestial seasonings factory in boulder for a tea tasting...

  
a visit to the colorado capitol building. and burning off some of the little one's energy by running up and down the hill (can you find us in this photo?)...


 last night we stayed at the home of some of our friends who live in denver. we didn't have as much time to visit as we all would have liked, but we really enjoyed the time we did have together.

garden of the gods...



and royal gorge. we had planned on riding the aerial tram in estes park, but it is closed this year for repairs, so our consolation was going to royal gorge today and riding the aerial tram there. it's quite a ride.


and we took the incline railway down into the gorge.


we had planned to go to great sand dunes national park today, but by the time we were almost there, it was so windy and our little one wanted out of her carseat, so we headed straight for the hotel. it was a bit disappointing, but we are going with the flow. it's definitely what works best when traveling with a toddler!
