We have had a glorious summer of travel and fun. But for anyone who needs a recap of The Real Glimpse at Family Travel, look no further than this summary of our Tour de Colorado this summer:
Chautauqua–Our car would not start prior to departure. We jump-started it, only to have an electrical malfunction once in Boulder and could not get our car alarm to turn off.
The Broadmoor’s new cottages in Colorado Springs–My parent’s car died in the valet. We had to get it towed to the nearest dealership and then drive 3 hours round-trip to retrieve it a few days later.
Steamboat Springs–We went to the rodeo. Hadley conquered the ram scramble. We went to the car. Couldn’t find keys. Discovered them in the ignition with the car running. Locked. For the past three hours.
Last week, it was Crested Butte. Don’t you think after allllll the trauma, after all the hardships that I deserved “The Perfect Day?”
I finally got one.
Brace yourselves for this because it may never happen again. READ ON.
