Sometimes You Need A Break

Sometimes you just need a break!


Time to spend with your family

enjoying and doing things  together.

Things that you normally wouldn't do,

like visit Colorado.


I was hoping for cooler weather,

but it was still unseasonably warm in Colorado.
  
None the less, we had fun :


  1. Looking for the "Giant Blue Bear" statue


We found him standing outside of the

Denver Convention Center!



2. Taking a train ride at 9000 feet elevation


This is what we saw along the way:




 3.  A walk across the Royal Gorge Bridge

(yes I did say WALK!)


Don't look down because this is what you will see!


 4. A hike up to the Seven Falls
  


5. Another hike through the Garden of the Gods



 to find the Balancing Rock.


 
6. Enjoyed the simplicity of the surroundings.




It was a wonderful vacation

and I am slowly recovering from my break.

My creative juices are starting to flow again

and I hope to get caught up soon.


Until Next Time... Happy Quilting!
