We decided to take a short road trip up to Estes Park yesterday to get out of the house.
Estes Park is a beautiful little town up in the mountains. It's sort of like a smaller Park City.
It is also home of the Stanley Hotel (which was Stephen King's inspiration for The Shining). They have ghost tours and play The Shining 24/7 on TV. I am determined to stay here sometime before I move away!
We drove through the national park which was beautiful!
We saw lots of local wildlife.
We took a longer way home through Glen Haven, Drake, and Loveland. We loved driving through the small towns and the beautiful canyons. One of the best finds on our trip was the Colorado Cherry Company. They had all sorts of jams, honeys, salsas, etc.
Overall it was a great day, and we can't wait to go back to Estes Park!

I still have never been to Estes Park but have heard great things. Hopefully we will make it there this summer. Thanks for sharing the pictures!
I keep forgetting to tell you how cool I think it is that you are really getting out and seeing Denver since you're only there temporarily. You’re the most un-lame couple I know.
