Well, the wife suggested that, since I had extra vacation time that I was going to lose at the end of the year, take a week off in the summer and spend it with the kids. Okay...sure. Then my folks said, when are you coming out to Colorado again? So...blend the two ideas...off to Colorado!
Woody Allen's house in Sleeper
One of the more beautiful views of the mountains as you drive up into them.
The Eisenhower Tunnel, going 1 mile through a mountain (at 11,000 feet elevation)
What the tunnel looks like on the inside
A nice place to stop along the way between Denver and Steamboat Springs, Colorado: Silverthorne
Yes, snow is STILL up here in the mountains...along the continental divide near Rabbit Ears.
And nice wildflowers
Panoramic view from the house
A 3D view of the valley and setting sun...
And, finally, sunset.
Evening Twilight over Steamboat Springs
First...in order to slide down...you take the chair lift up.
Now...the Alpine Slide. You ride these special 'carts' with a brake handle down a fiberglass channel.
The view of Steamboat Springs you see before you go down the slide.
Mt. Werner, the main ski mountain in Steamboat Springs.
Happy Trails...to you...
Me (and Hox) and Dad (and Bill)
Cottonwood tree, in full bloom...
One of Steamboat Springs...springs. Why'd you think it's called "Steamboat SPRINGS"? Actually...this one is called...I'm not joking...Steamboat Spring.
Sunset for Day 3
