Trip to Colorado

We had so much fun on our trip to Colorado!!!! It was a very long drive but it was worth it! We weren't sure where we were actually going at first..I don't think we really decided until we were in Colorado. Our trip was very random, but in a good way! :) We first went to Rifle Falls National Park..which was way back in the boonies..took forever to get there plus we had no cell phone service. When we finally got there, there was only one spot left. and it happened to be a handicap spot, so they couldn't promise it for another night. We missed the part in our book that said reservations recommended..oops! They only had 12 spots available. So the next day we headed for Grand Mesa National Forest! This was a much nicer campground. It was 10,000ft above sea lvl..so it was really hard to breathe up there. We did only stay here for one night as well. It got to the 40s at night so we were really cold. Going 3 days without showering is gross...so we decided to head to Grand Junction and get a hotel room! We went to The Winery to eat. The calamari was delicious! Best ever!! Then we got a bottle of wine! That was good too! Our dinner was awesome! Would recommend that place to anyone that goes to Grand Junction, but they are a little pricey. Anyways, the next day we went a dinosaur museum and to 1 1/2 mile hike through the desert..and only saw 3 different dino fossils..it was a tough hike but fun! Then we decided to drive to Denver that afternoon. Once we arrived, we went to the Aquarium. It was an awesome aquarium!

So anyways here are some of the pictures from our trip! There are a lot more on facebook!

This was the coolest part on our desert hike


Think this was a dino vertebrae, but it looks like a fish to me.

We went to the Aquarium in downtown Denver, CO-so awesome!

This was the telephone museum from the movie Yes Man!
