In true Corona Summer fashion,
our trip to the Wisconsin Dells didn't work out
(waterparks with masks?).
So we were left with a week off
and some decisions to make.
Mom and Dad suggested a National Parks trip,
so Weston and I got to work
making a Powerpoint presentation
for an RV trip through Colorado and all its glorious parks.
Renting an RV didn't seem feasible
(not a lot of great choices with less than a week's notice)
but lucky for us,
the Heinz Family have one and they offered it to us.
We couldn't believe our luck!
We have amazing friends.
So in about 72 hours,
Mom and Dad planned and booked a
whirlwind 11 day trip through Colorado.
Load up!
Here we go!
Our first day
we spent about 8 hours driving across Kansas.
When we weren't listening to Harry Potter,
we were playing various car games in our car binders
We got to the Drury in Denver
just in time for their evening Happy Hour...
which happened to be serving
pulled pork sandwiches and chili
in addition to cold beverages.
Score!
Throw in their indoor/outdoor swim through pool
and we thought this was an amazing way to kick off a vacation!
The next morning,
we masked up for a bit of breakfast
and hit the road again
Today we got our first glimpse of the mountains
I mean,
how can you not take lots of pictures?
There was a lot of beautiful scenery on the way to Montrose
Colorado is just...gorgeous.
We stopped in Glenwood Springs
for some lunch
COVID-friendly outdoor seating...
our second restaurant outing since March!
All that pizza made some of us tired
but before we knew it,
we were at our first RV park.
We timed it--
our first set up took just over 30 minutes
and that included all the jacks and stabilizers,
water, sewer and electrical hook up,
and outdoor seating and such.
We were excited we were so fast.
But we were more excited
our RV park had MINI GOLF!
And not just any mini golf--
the old-school, moving obstacles kind.
We could have played all day.
Pair this with some chilling outside our rig
(we forgot the picture...)
and it made for a successful first night in the camper.
But what are we doing in Montrose?
Just you wait...
