road trip! just the two of us

Last week I was a brave soul and packed up Kash and ventured to Utah (without the husband!).  I was a little nervous but luckily Kash did great there and back, I was actually impressed...it was just the actual visit he was a little pill about!

Here's our road trip in picture form:

Leaving Colorado...pretty. 

Thanks to Blaine he hooked up the mirror and DVD player...both were life savers!  And Kash LOVED his petting farm DVD--and I'm pretty sure I have it memorized.   

Finally made it to UTAH!

But then we had to leave, this is the part I got emotional ha!  (Logan Canyon)

I love this part in the canyon on your way to Bear Lake where the trees canopy the road! (don't mind the bug filled windshield)

 And then back home to the CO.  I was actually pretty excited to see this sign!

While my fam was in town for the baby shower my Aunt Stacee was dying to drive down to Colorado Springs because that's where the US Cycling Team trains. And being the the avid cyclist she is she had to see what all the hoopla was about.

As we were heading south Stacee said, "I always thought it was kind of ostentatious for them to name something Garden of the Gods." But then as we turned the corner and the red rock formations started to peak out of the mountains she said, "Okay maybe they got the name right!"

It was a perfect fall day and the Garden of the Gods did not disappoint!
