Colorado and baby boys.

A random view of Pearl Street during the day.
 I forgot to mention the torrential rain we ran into going thru the Colorado canyons. We were actually sliding on the road and could barely see ahead of us. Also managed to find a really big rock to chip our windshield just in the same place as our Westy. Sure hope USAA is understanding when we replace two windshields so close together but they are both reason to ticket so whataya going to do?
Our first night we waited for Rande to get done with work and headed down to Boulder for dinner and fun. Have I mentioned just how much we love to visit Boulder/Pearl St? Its just such positive crazy energy and people out enjoying life. Love it. Boulder is definitely on our top 5 list of places we would like to live. I think I could call up my hippy days and blend well enough..not so sure about my man but he would give it a try. We completely enjoyed our time with Rande and hearing about his life and plans. I have not seen him since Nov. and he could not have been nicer.  So fun to see how many friends he runs into as we walked. It was a beautiful evening to stroll Pearl Street and I always leave anxious to return soon. <3
Biker men and their women carrying the big loads!



Kamolz campsite with diligent guard dog posted!
 The next day we  found we were without hot water at the hotel...kind of frustrating but off we went to Timothy and Jammie's campground. We rode bikes, had lunch in the tent/westy while it rained, watched Timothy try to fish and Wolfgang enjoy swimming and again time to catch up. They have so many changes coming up and their plans change daily...hmmm sounds just like his parents! From there we drove to Denver to meet Rande and Meghan and quickly get a bite to eat before Rande was off to work. I was hoping to have my game on to meet a new girlfriend but maybe she didnt notice how scruffy we looked~I asked to take a photo but he said not now as usual so no Meghan to show here. Both boys were working the next day but we decided to stay another day just to regroup. This constant road tripping  is truly wearing us down...but we seem to make the most of each day and get back in the car!                                                                                                                                                          
The next day we just enjoyed Boulder again and spent a couple of hours in McGuckins Hardware Store a true Boulder treasure. If you can't find something in this store you either dont need it or it doesnt exist. My man managed to find some fly fishing gear and a sales person willing to talk and after quite some time he walked out ready to learn how to fly fish. He is pretty darn excited and cant wait to practice when we get to the lakes. Its always a good day when a new passion/hobby walks into your life. I envision us spending our summers in an RV driving from river to river searching for the        perfect spot.  I will add a photo of his new gear when he sets up for some serious fishing.  Personally I really like the cute vests that come with the sport! So many pockets and possibilities!!   Minnesota coming up!

  2. I am not sure why both of them had their tongues hanging out when Jammie and I did all the work!! Actually they both had turns running along side the bikes...Wolfgang actually pulled Timothy up a hill! That boy has energy!
