We have had a pretty good day.  We took a vacation day of sorts even though we stayed within 50 miles of the house.  I have a sprinkler project that I started the day out with.  It went well and that must have been an indication of how the rest of the day would be.  Pretty much perfect weather (70*/no wind) which has been hard to come by when we have time off from work.

I just recently got an alignment done on my Corvette.  The car is a 1975 4 speed coupe.  Its something I’ve had for a while and it gets worked on every so often.  Not to long ago (about 2 years) I rebuilt the front suspension and I just got around to getting the alignment done on it a few weeks ago.  I talked Cassie into going up to Estes Park.  It is a really nice drive to get there.  The canyon is a two lane road that twists around and ends up in a quaint little town the locals just call ‘Estes’, but that tourists scramble to every summer (so do we!).

Parked at the top (notice Cassie’s head)

We took a short trek on a trail too.  It is nice to be able to just pull over and hike, no worries about private property.  Of course there is private property, but we also have a lot of national forest.

We stopped off in Estes and had lunch at a little pizza place and went for a short walk to get some taffy and toffee.

The Bounty

Overall a very nice day.  I wanted to be sure and post some of our Colorado adventures up too!  We both have lived here our whole lives so we take a lot of this for granted, but its our favorite time of year (not winter).
