Summer time and the living isn't just easy, it's down right lazy! We have been back from an amazing family vacation for over three weeks and I'm just now getting around to posting about it, shame on me for not immortalizing this epic family vacation while it was still fresh in my mind. As it is, I'll have to rely on my spotty recollections and pictures to piece together the two and a half weeks we tramped about Colorado.
This whole adventure came about because my lovely niece and her fiancee were kind enough to decide to get married in Breckenridge. Brian and I smelled a road trip the moment they set the date.
We joked that this was the A.D.D. vacation... put more kindly, it unfolded in several distinct stages.
Stage one: load up the van and head west young man. The boys were troopers for the 16+ hour drive straight through to Colorado Springs. The van was jam packed with 2 tents, all of our sleeping bags and camping gear, 5 bikes off the back, my road bike on top and a Thule rocket box. It brought to mind the Monty Python movie, Life of Brian, if we tried to fit one thin wafer mint more into that poor car I'm pretty sure it would have exploded.
