Rocky Mountain High

20060611_142



Hi everybody!  We just got back from our friends' (Pat and Charity's) wedding in Boulder, CO.  We've added some new pictures from our trip over in the photo album section.  We had so much fun there!  We were there for 5 days, so we had plenty of time to see the sites.  The coolest thing we did was drive over to Rocky Mountain National Park.  We drove on up on Trail Ridge Road, which is the highest, continuous, paved road in the U.S.  It was absolutely breathtaking.  We were right at eye level with snow covered peaks!  At the top, we got out and hiked for about a mile to climb up even higher.  It doesn't sound like very far to hike, but we were all out of breath because of the altitude (over 12,000 ft.).  We were also freezing, because none of us thought we were actually going to go up to the top, and we were all wearing shorts and flip-flops!  We all had a great time, though.  The wedding was beautiful, and it was great getting to see our friend Melissa too (she also lives there in Boulder).  The funniest thing is...we're going back there in just a few weeks.  Our friend Lina is getting married in Breckenridge, CO July 2nd.  I guess we'll have more breathtaking photos to show then!
