"Hey guys-let's take a cliff picture and scare the grandparents!" That backfired and made ME nervous. But here they are.

We left Colorado!

Hello, Utah!

Pretend that family is us taking a photo.

Is that Pilot Mountain?!

These last shots are driving through Grand Mesa.

Just went through White River National Forest.

Pictures aren't even close to what it's like driving through here. Just wow.

Still driving. Coming up on Eagle, Colorado. The terrain keeps changing colors. This is when my geology classes should be paying off. They are not. #sorrymomanddad

Traveling through Utah. Would you like an Impala or Charger?

Daddy jumped at Charger.

We are off to rent a car to drive to Utah. After packing every bag into the Uber and counting children and their sunglasses, I felt for mine and said, "Uh oh! I lost my glasses."

"The ones on your face?" asked Sidney Kate.

Look kids-I have a lot to keep up with.

Rockies win and we say good night to Denver.

It has been a great trip and I'd come back any time.

Our last night in Denver included a meal at Public School 303 and a Colorado Rockies game.

We arrived late to the game but right in time for a storm to start blowing through. It ended up being mostly wind and a few drops of rain. Our seats were in right field and right under shelter-so we were set.

Rockies hit a home run to win the game and beat the Astros. The girls first Major League Baseball game was a good one.

For the record. I really like Denver. So much to do and see. We have barely skimmed the surface. I could come here again and do all new things.

The girls and I rode the 16th bus to Union Station and checked out the Tattered Cover book store. 💕I loved it. Such a neat indie atmosphere. Couches, chairs, tables, and spaces everywhere for all to enjoy. Tons of books. You can tell this is an author's place to stop, sign, and shelf their books. Snagged a Spanish book for ECV and a connect the dot book for our travels.

We closed the afternoon with Jamba Juice. Sidney Kate has been begging and it didn't disappoint.

After the mile high memory,we hit lunch up at Mad Greens again. Oh my the hippie food that makes my heart happy. The girls ate it up and I got to enjoy another nutrition packed lunch. Who knows what I'll be eating next week in Utah-so better eat right this week!

As we started walked to our next stop we got to take a few fun pictures. The first is the normal head in a hole picture-but it looks odd. The second was a green screen. SKV has on big green glasses so they don't appear. Haha!

Today was less packed than yesterday. We slept a bit later then headed to the Capitol. There is a step marked "One Mike Above Sea Level" but over the years two additional marks have been placed.

The 15th step is engraved with the words "One Mile Above Sea Level." It held this distinction from 1909 to 1969, when a group of students from Colorado State University remeasured. Their calculations put a mile high on the 18th step, which prompted the installation of a bronze marker. In 2003, the elevation was measured again. This time, the researchers identified the 13th step as the correct benchmark. A brass medallion engraved with the silhouette of the Rocky Mountains was formally installed in a ceremony later that year (the governor gave the keynote).

So we took three pictures. At some point we were one mile above sea level. Go us!
