Our Summer Vacation In Northern Colorado

We spent eight lovely days staying in a comfortable cabin near Drake, CO right on the Big Thompson River. We hiked, explored Rocky Mountain National Park, took pictures, read books, enjoyed afternoon thunder storms, checked out the YMCA of the Rockies retreat center near Estes Park, shopped an arts and crafts fair, talked to wild animals, drove high Alpine roads, and mostly just relaxed. It was a much needed vacation from our usually busy schedules and responsibilities.
