Go West!!!!! and so I did.

the weather is in the mid-70’s, a lovely cool breeze is blowing through the evergreens and aspens from the mountains, I’ve been getting almost 10 hours of sleep a night plus a 1-2 hour nap during the day, great shopping and I’m in a castle.

NO NO, this is not a dream! I’m not delusional from the hot Arkansas heat!!!

I am at Glen Eyrie, a castle built at the turn of the century in Colorado Springs at a conference/vacation for the week. (and my huge brother who has weapons is at my house burglars so I wouldn’t risk it.) Ben’s parents invited us to go with them to the family conference that they go to every year and we though since we have a family now, (not the fact that it’s in weather perfect Colorado during the hottest part of the summer in Arkansas and in a castle,) that we should go with them. :)

We’re going hiking, going to Pike’s Peak, visiting relatives in Denver Friday, going white water rafting, going to Garden of the Gods park, visit some of Ben’s relatives possibly, lots of other awesome and cool things that would make you jealous if I told you, and if Ben gets his way: purchasing a vehicle. In fact, peeps, I’m so busy that I don’t have time to blog anymore! Smell you laters!!!

    We are big fans of travelling out West. Until last summer, we had been every summer for 6 years. It is beautiful and so much cooler than the hot summers here. Enjoy it!

    haha quote from "Man from Snowy River" used well! :) Glad your having fun, if anyone needs a vacation its you guys! Make the most of it! What family will you be seeing in Denver? I guess you can see nearly all the Nelson's since Kylie & Tyler live close again! Tell everyone I said hi & I miss them!!

    I am jealous!!! It is HOT here, however, currently we are getting a rain pour like nothing I have seen in a long time!!! Very unexpected (for me at least, I haven’t been watching the news). Glad you are having a good time, take a ton of pictures! Give my family hugs from me! Love you!
