29 August 2012

got out of dodge. part two.

the week after the south bend adventures, we packed up and headed west.
sometimes it's really great to just get away for a bit. colorado in the summer is a bit of break for us all, and we try to do as little as possible except sleep, eat, and hike just a little. it's completely wonderful.

and now we're back to reality. the drive home was not uneventful, but we made it so that's all that matters. =)
