Why?

Welcome to our family's travel blog. We will be departing on our major trip this summer to Colorado. We will fly to Denver, get a rental car, then drive to Colorado Springs, Canon City, Gunnison, up to Golden, then fly back home via Denver again. But not all in the same day. This will be over a period of 8 days. Please stay tuned over the next few weeks to find out what we are up to. We should have some form of internet access while we travel, so daily posting is possible. We have a new hard drive video camera, so some YouTube posts are on par for the course. If you have relatives in Colorado, we WILL find them to pay a surprise visit to talk about you.
Why would we want to spend the money to travel like this? Isn't it just a big hastle with interdispersed annoyances with those you are travelling close quarters with? Why would one pay for that punishment? After all, wouldn't it be better if we gave the all of the money to Ryan O'gara? NOT.
These are the times, as short as they seem, that we get to recharge, get to know each other again without the schedules and deadlines that day to day life brings. Where we have to be or when won't matter. If we want to we will, if we don't, we'll find something else to do. That's what's great about it.
Please stop back daily to see if we have left yet. (those of you who know us will know already). Read, laugh, and feel slightly embarrassed if you'd like.

Amen-
And those are the times that you get really familiar with your kid's foot odor in an enclosed area.

sweet... have fun on your little jaunt around the country side... to a certain point I envy you, but then there is the, " Dad he crossed over the invisible line that I made with my finger and is now on my side" downer moments, but all in all Bet it will be fun.

In that case there is the "dad's arm can suddenly reach both of us from the front seat" moment.
