Rocky Mountain Adventure

Our weekend trip found me as far west as I've ever traveled. The beauty of the mountains in Colorado is enchanting. The landscape was so different from anything I've ever seen. I see why people decide to move there. While the weather in Golden was a bit warmer than we were hoping for, the mid-80s were quite pleasant with no humidity.

Dave had a great time fishing, while I enjoyed relaxing. Dave and I have hung out with Matt and Rene a bit in DFW, but Saturday afforded me the opportunity to get to know Rene. She and I share a love of reading. She loaned me a book when I finished the book I had brought and found myself without a back up book. (I always pack a back-up book; I'll blame it on pregnant-head.) We also like a good deal when shopping.

Matt and Rene cool off in the creek in downtown Golden. The park downtown seemed to be a popular place to cool off on the hot summer days.
