True Beauty. :) Okay well I'm a little frustrated because my favorite site is not working so I'm just going to write a blog here about my short vacation trip to Estes Park Colorado and Rocky Mountain National Park. I set off yesterday about 9:15 AM from Omaha. I stopped in North Platte to visit with a friend I hadn't spoken to for about 3 years. I had forgotten just how gorgeous the drive up Highway 34 and the Big Thompson Canyon was. By about 6:15 PM MDT I was in Estes Park. It's even more beautiful than I remembered it. I was here about 8 years ago briefly with my but we were kind of rushed and didn't get too much chance to check out the town. I secured a place to sleep for the night which is a gorgeous campground nestled up in the mountains but a few minutes from town. A herd of about 30 elk ran by as I was registering. Once I'd found a place to sleep I headed back to town and ate dinner at a Mexican restaurant called the Grumpy Gringo. LOL! I had a stuffed chicken fajita burrito, a Corona and salsa and chips. It was very good. By the time I was done eating it was back to the campground to shower, wash my hair and relax before going to bed. I was considering checking out some of the clubs in town but was pretty exhausted from the trip. Plus the GOOD news is that my cellphone WORKS up here so I could IM people and talk to my friends worldwide while I sat in my campsite waiting to go to sleep. Today I plan to drive into Rocky Mountain National Park and go up the very scenic Trail Ridge Road. This would be a great place to have a honeymooon if I ever got married again but it's beautiful even alone. Well my time's up on the computer.
