June 18-19 Yesterday I didn’t do much…motivation was lacking, but truthfully I was pretty excited about my book. I woke up and took my time in the morning. At 10:45 I walked down to the yoga studio for another hour and a half Power Yoga class with Dorian. Again I was the only one; again he kicked my butt. It is truly the most challenging yoga class I’ve taken. After yoga, I grabbed my... Read Full Entry

This is probably the closest I'll come to the park. I don't have any plans to come spend a day here.

Jen, Some truly amazing pictures! I have always wanted to go to Hawaii, and am trying to convince my beautiful bride that we should go this year for our 25th wedding anniversary. OMG!! 25 blissful years already. I have always wanted to see the USS Arizona. But, I have my work cut out for me since Val doesn't like the idea of crossing the ocean. Anyway, enjoy your trip and I'm glad to hear that Greg is spending some time with you. Enjoy, Peter

Wish I could be your hiking buddy!
You're right Jen, these pics are gorgeous! Lucky, lucky you. Do you think I could have done that hike without muttering, or at least thinking, "I can"t? How does it compare to the Camelback hike we took last visit? If you make it to Denver before summer's end, I'd love to do the hike at "Hanging Lake". I've seen the sign so many times on I70 just east of Glenwood Springs. Usually I've been with Randy and we both know how much hiking he likes to do! Sandy was here last night and we talked a lot about fitness stuff, biking, Body Pump class, hiking, etc. She volunteered to do it with me sometime. Let's all do it! I mentioned that I was having a BBQ for a pre-Father's Day celeb. Turned out Jeff and Sandy were the only ones to come. Nikki remembered after I completed all of my food shopping (really no big deal Nikki :-) ) that she had made previous plans to have friends over to her house for dinner. We all sat at the kitchen table (a very unusual event!) since it was chilly and rainy outside. All in all the evening went well and there was much to talk about. This morning Brady asked Randy to pick him up in his Mustang and take him to the annual car show event in Arvada at the rec center. I will follow and pick up Nik and Nav (hey, cute little nick-names...) and join them for awhile. Afterwards Randy will meet Jeff and do a motorcycle ride while I get some exercise in and maybe walk around the lake at Clement Park a few times. Right now the sun is shining bright and the sky is clear and blue. Looks like a good day! You have a good day too and oh, BTW Eat some REAL food once in awhile. You are looking pretty SKINNY! Where is the protein? Oh yeah, you're eating peanut butter. Okay, but how about some FISH! Really Jen, be nice to your body! You are burning lots of calories, so don't forget to fuel up! I love you, mom

P.S.
Just a quickie footnote...I was reading through some of the posted comments and I find it fasinating and quite cool that people you don't even know are reading your blog! I wonder how they come upon it.....Maybe you'll write a book someday Jen, or discover some other way to put your writing talents to use!

Explorer Jen
You pictures are adding to my to-do list! I know exactly where these places are located, but we haven't stopped! So are you thinking of teacher training for yoga once you return? You could get certified and teach yoga full time. It sounds like you are well on your way to that point! I did make it to - and through - my second hot yoga class. Monday will be my third. Did you get to eat something that cost more thn $5? I am hoping so. We went to the Roaring Fork for HH last night (all night during the summer!) and I though of you. Just find some great happy hours some place and you can eat well for cheap. I will send you a couple links later. Where are you off to today? Can't wait to hear....

Keep them coming!
Jen - I am so proud of you and your adventure!! I am not much of a blogger back, but I have read them all!! Have a wonderful time and be safe. We will be leaving for Aruba with Brooke and Nate on Thursday night for a week. Happy 4th early. I am sure you will have some awesome fireworks out at one of the resorts.
