Roadtrip to Colorado

We've returned home from our 2.5 week road trip from San Diego to Denver. 16 hours each way with a 5, 3 and 1 year old in the car. It was toughest on Z, but he did fine overall. We broke our road trip up into 2 days, stayed in Green River UT one night on the way there. We stayed in Mesquite, NV one night on the way home. We had SUCH a great time. Swimming in the hotel pools was key. Yes, we broke down and bought a portable DVD player, but we're okay with it. Jeff and I had great chat time as he drove most of the way - what a champ. My computer access was sporadic to say the least so my apologies in not posting mid-adventure. I hope to make several posts this week with some of the highlights of our trip.

Can I just say how awesome it was that gas prices dropped (and continue to drop) for our road trip. That saved us a good amount of cash!

I can't believe it's been nearly one year since we moved to California. Things I miss about Colorado: parks, indoor swimming pools, bike/hike trails, and the smell of an afternoon thunderstorm. Ahhhhh. Things I don't miss: altitude sickness (this doesn't last long I know but it was still tough being there 2 weeks, and I like to think that I'm in shape), chapped lips and crusty boogers (sorry, but someone had to say it). It was so fun to see tons of family and friends.
