Take me home...

We visited lovely Western Colorado last weekend for a much needed visit home. We had a great time with Chris' parents touring the San Juan mountains. Here are a few photos.

On Saturday, we drove to Telluride and rode the gondola from downtown Telluride to Mountain Village.







While in Mountain Village we did the most Telluride of activities...we went shopping at The North Face and scored big-time on some end-of-summer sales:





We also toured downtown T-ride where Chris is pretty sure he saw a movie star...but he couldn't remember what her name was, or what movies she had been in. So, obviously, it was a pretty big deal.



The drive from Montrose to Telluride is quite lovely:









We also toured Chris' parent's new house for the first time. It is very comfortable and has sunflowers:











Olivia and Fran tour the new garden:



On the following day, we hiked around the town of Ouray on a new trail.



Here is a view down a beautiful gorge above Ouray:





and into the recently opened tunnel:





We also celebrated our birthdays. Happy birthday us! and thanks mom and dad for such a great visit!
