The car is packed - Chris grabbed Nick from his Appalachian trail hiking camp last night (thankfully) one less connection to make, and nice to have him home emptying bags and showering up.
Love being AT the airport with all the bags checked and the kiddos entertaining themselves with what they packed.
The theme for this trip appears to be Harry Potter. Those book have truly inspired Shane to be SUCH a reader!
Our flight to Denver was direct - but super cool to be in the Denver airport running into a kiddo wearing the same Avon Old Farms baseball camp t-shirt.
Next to Uber to our truck and trailer that Chris reserved. The guy we reserved it from was something - a little spacey, a bit too detailed, missing a few things here and there. I loved Chris's confidence in driving this through the moutains.
First stop (after stocking up on groceries) is Jellystone Park in Estes! Jelly stone is the home of Yogi Bear and boo boo bear. right as we roll up, Boo boo bear comes out to meet us. This is my favorite photo of the 2 boo boo bears together.
This guy is always welcoming
Obligitory family photo. Gotta say this was our favorite RV park. The team was SO helpful. the way they helped Chris back into a near impossible RV site was magical. Chris didn't even look at the trailer, he only listened to our guide (who completely nailed it! and was from Boston!)
They didn't have a burn ban at this park, so Shane loaded us up with wood and some crazy chemicals that would make the fire turn different colors
We did it! But honestly I should say HE did it. This is a Chris planned vacation and being in an airstream is his bucket list. He planned the sites, excursions etc. Its great to see we finally made it!
This site had a mini put course that the kids ADORED. which meant we could go hiking. Here is the view from our campsite. I had hoped it would be far enough the view tomorrow night's fireworks, but maybe we should leave that up for chance.
The boys really had 'just enough' room for everyone and plenty of blankets. No need for the AC tonight. It cooled off just perfectly.
These were our sleeping accommodations - not bad right? we loved the storage below the bed and above. The door to the right is the bathroom. Just enough space...
