Colorado.

A couple of weeks ago, my family (minus Val and Ben) took a trip to Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado.  Why?  Well my dad is a submarine veteran who loves meet up with his old buddies he was on the ship with and just his luck that every 1-2 years there is a USS Cusk reunion.  It just happened to be in Colorado this time... which is fine by me because I love it there.  I like to think that I know a lot about Colorado because I was born there... but lets face it... I don't.  I found out that it's a lot more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.

First stop: Casa Bonita.  It's pretty much a kid's dreamland.  We used to go there a lot when we were kids... but because I was four when we moved to Florida, I don't have any memory of this place.


The landscape around this place was beautiful.  I had a blast laying on the concrete in attempts to try and get a good shot of the flowers.



I've learned that Colorado puts a lot of effort into their parks.  I really wish Florida would do that.  


This was just on a street corner.

I've decided that stop time in my future I will either live in Colorado or have a summer home there.  While it was 95 degrees in Florida it was 68 degree is Colorado.  I was in heaven.



Note:  If you haven't guessed already, Submarine reunions aren't the most stimulating events.   Therefore, I spent most of my time chasing flower shots.




That's Colorado for you.  Beautiful.
