Vacation Ended on Thursday

Paul and I enjoyed a having time together this summer before leaving for Colorado toured some areas of Washington that I had been wanting to share with Paul. I got to finally meet his family in Colorado. We had a very good time visiting with his mom, Grandparents, Aunt Kerri, Uncle Mike, Uncle Erik and cousins Sheay and Logan. During our visit we covered a lot of territory in Colorado between the Peak to Peak highway, The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden and Paul's Grandparent's home in Loveland. Our flight landed in Seattle last Monday afternoon, Paul had to go back to work the next day but I still had a few days to recuperate before returning to work.

Posted below are just a few pictures from our trip. If anyone knows how to get google blog to post the entire picture instead of just one tiny corner I would be grateful for the knowledge. Anyway all of our pictures from the Colorado trip are posted here.





This is Aunt Kerri's house. Located on a mountain top just outside of Golden. Think lots of snow in the winter.



When we arrived at Aunt Kerri's house for our first night, we were given specific instructions
"to stay to the right"and not to drive over the bear print in the driveway.

Saturday was spent at Grandma and Grandpa's house where the most of the family gathered for a BBQ.


After lunch we went to the sculpture park in Loveland for an afternoon walk.




This Saint Malo's church near Allenspark, CO. We drove past it on our home via the Peak to Peak HWY from Loveland to Golden.

Sunday, Aunt Kerri, Nikki (Paul's mom), Paul and I went to the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden.




This is one of my favorite quilts from the museum. There were two exhibits taking place when we visited. An art quilt show featuring the artists interpretation of water. These quilts were very unique. I'm sorry that pictures were not allowed of any of the art quilts.

The lone quilt shop in Golden.


There was this beautiful rainbow as we headed back up the mountain to get ready for dinner on our last night in Colorado.
