Colorado: Day 2

Our second day in Colorado was rainy and cool.  So we decided to make it a drive-around-and-look kinda day.  So we went for a drive up the Boreas Pass which is located on the continental divide, at the crest of the Front Range along the border between Park (south) and Summit counties. (Yeah I looked all that up!)  The drive up the pass is just on this little tiny gravel service road that is closed in the winter and used by cross-country skiers.  It was a little spooky in the foggy, rainy weather.  But the views sure were pretty!

And then of course we had to stop and take pictures at a pretty spot.  Here's Marty and the kids then me and the kids.  And nobody fell off the cliff so all was well!  And it was COLD!!!

And then we kept driving and driving and DRIVING!!!!  On the wet, bumpy road and about this point we all had to pee so bad!!!  Me and the kids thought we would never get there!!!

But then there it was ... our oasis!  And it even had a working bathroom!!!  Too bad we figured that out a few minutes too late.  :P

And then instead of turning around, we kept going and decided to see where we ended up.  We took a few wrong turns...  Please don't make me go up to 13822 feet!  I could hardly breathe at 11482!!!

And finally ended up in South Park City.  The boys were sooo excited!!!  (You'll see this sign again in a few days.  We had to make another stop by the sign when Mackenzie had his South Park dolls.)

And we saw even more mountains on the drive back to Breckenridge.  Somehow we ended up like 30 miles away from our hotel when we had started right by it!  Can ya tell I was tired of taking pictures of the mountains by this point?  :)

Day 3 coming up soon ... and it's a fun one.  Alpine slide, mechanical bull riding, etc!  Don't miss it!
