Geo: 39.5416, -104.951We got up early to start the process of getting the kids ready for VBS/Sports camp at a local church on the other side of I 25.About 7am, we realized we couldn't find any tennis shoes for David, so I mentioned to Glenn, we better make a Wal-mart run before arriving at the church.

Weggs

Friday 17th June 2011 Today we spent the early morning at the Dillon's Farmers' Market.

Yesterday was a real road trip day - we started out from Bryce at 6:30, pulled off into the Phillips 66 station about two hours later for a breakfast break - nothing like cereal in a plastic bowl perfumed by the gas ... read more
