  • Colorado Springs, Colorado

    After spending a few relaxing days in Vail we drove a couple hours to Colorado Springs to meet Dusty’s family. Dusty’s Aunt, Kristin, plays in the marine band and was able to reserve some cabins at a camping ground. There were almost twenty-five us, either members or friends of the Davidson’s, who stayed in two large cabins. The camp ground was wonderful. It is ran by the marines and meant for their families. It was very beautiful and high in the mountains. In fact, it was so high up in the mountains and so far from civilization that there was no cell phone service.

    Here are some highlights… we went hiking in the woods around the cabins with the kids, paddle boating in the lake, trading off on cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner for everyone, white water rafting, cave of the winds, cards, quilting, a trip down the mountain for warm clothes and ice cream, and lots of popcorn.

    During one of the lazy afternoons the kids found some little friends who wanted to come out and play… or at least the kids wanted them to come out and play. They found whatever food they could to get the little critters out of their hiding place.

  • Vail, Colorado

    Colorado in the summer. As most of you know I am an instructor and have the summers off. This enables us to spend a lot of time traveling. Here we are in Vail. We stayed at a wonderful bed and breakfast. Dusty and I spent three days by ourselves before meeting his family in Colorado Springs for a family reunion. If you are ever thinking of staying in Vail I highly suggest looking into Savory Inn. The gentleman running the place was wonderful and it is also a cooking school so we always had excellent breakfasts. Dusty and I went mountain biking, rafting, and did some site seeing.
