We are back home after a quick road trip to Denver, Colorado! It’s so nice to be home, but I wish we’d had a little bit more time in the Mile High City. We are definitely going back! The whole point of this trip was to visit my grandpa, who I hadn’t seen since I… [Read More]

Day 11 – Las Vegas, NV Day 11 started with slowly getting out of bed and getting down to the nearest Starbucks for coffee and a pastry. Merry was still in bed, so the husband and I brought our coffees back up to the room to sip them while we watched TV before he had… [Read More]
