Good way to end summer vacation; cooling off on Kali Rapids before dinner with cousins from Louisiana who arrived yesterday.

Loving my caladiums this year especially the new variety...Frog in a Blender ! The large leaf is 18 x 12 inches!

Some great places you have visited but I didn't see Alpine Tunnel or Needle's Eye/Rollins Pass on your map. Those are on my list... someday.

You've listed some places I would like to see too! But they keep closing Mount Blue Sky (Mount Evans with it's already short open season!)) and I've also found that many of the more obscure or large general places like Berthoud Pass don't have enamel pins to collect. Mesa Verde was closed for fires when we tried to visit and with the horrible number of major accidents and closures on I-70 we try not to use it much anymore. I do have a list of lesser known places like Bishop Castle, Paint Mines, and Wheeler Geologic Area on my Colorado bucket list.

Which places in Colorado have you been to?

I'll save ya, penguins!

Only Grand Junction area. I visited Colorado national Monument (sort of, it was closed for a gov't shutdown) and the nearby Colorado River. My plan is to ride my mtn bike up to Needles eye. Not sure that is realistic.

The Grand Junction area is impressive with its Book Cliffs and I really like the Colorado National Monument for the less popular but beautiful views of the Colorado Plateau. It is so often overlooked too.

I don't know about you but it's hard enough for me to make my 10,000 steps a day but if you ever get out here again do it! Biking is very popular around here in the Springs and in Colorado in general.

Here is my best photo of Colorado Monument. Our hosts (business trip) had a cookout by the river since the monument was closed.

Looks like you're on a cruise! My cousin keeps after me to join them for one; always tell him I love him but no, no, NO! I get claustrophobic thinking about those cabins...balcony or not! Should have put "end summer vacation TRIP" ! Actually "summer vacation" continues already with DD on the beach in Corpus Christi for 5 days and oldest DGD on her way to spend a few days with high school best friend in Alabama. Next week soccer/high school best friend visiting her for a week in Melbourne. Then Vegas is on the menu, Florida beaches for youngest DGD with her friends eek:...) and a stop in Biloxi for DD and DGD as she drives home for the month of July from Melbourne. Who knows what August will bring so yes, summer vacation just starting!

Anyone else do a LEGO project on their way home from DW vacation?
