Our time in Colorado has been very relaxing (at least for me!) and enjoyable. We went to Steamboat Springs on Sunday, October 9 and stayed two nights. We loved the little town, (off-season for sure!) and enjoyed our walk up to Fish Creek Falls through the forest. Our drive over to Loveland on Tuesday (the 11th) took us the scenic route. We wanted to go through Rocky Mountain National Park that comes out at Estes Park, but the pass was already closed for the winter. So, we drove another scenic route through Winter Park, Idaho Springs, Central City and then through a corner of Estes Park. It was a long way around, but kept us off the Interstate and we were able to see some gorgeous country. We had rain, snow and bright sun off and on all day. W stopped for coffee and ice cream in Nederland, a funky little town somewhere on the way. The little shop we stopped at was a bookstore, ice-cream place and coffee. It was truly a step back to the 1970's! 
We are staying at Erin and Nathan's new place and are enjoying our time, even though Doyle is still working. Pete and Heather also came up and they stayed at Sara Philip's house at the farm, about a ten minute drive from here. I love this area, one reason is because they are so close to the country, but in town...the best of both worlds. It is truly a beautiful area. Peter is doing some re-finishing for Nathan and Erin and Doyle was doing plumbing and electrical in their basement for Erin's studio. Tomorrow we head down to Colorado Springs for our nephew's wedding. He will be married on October 15. We are excited for him. Peter is in the wedding, so they left today as they have rehearsal tonight.
