We left Saturday morning for a week in Colorado! After looking at airline prices and realizing that plane tickets for 5 people are not cheap, we decided to drive for the first time ever. It helped that we were able to caravan with my parents and my sister's family. The kids thought that was a great idea until we were about 5 miles down the road! Luckily, we broke the trip into several stops which made it a little easier on everyone!
Our first stop was the Rhone reunion in Bowie. We enjoyed lunch with my dad's side of the family and then got back on the road and headed to Amarillo, our first stop on the trip.
We found a great rest stop about half way to Amarillo with a playground for the kids. It was nice to let them stretch their legs a little before getting back in the car.
Once we got to Amarillo, we enjoyed dinner with one of my sweet friends from college. Our kids all had a blast playing with each other, especially Parker and her son Judson. It was so nice to visit and catch up with her since we don't get to see her very often.
The hotel we stayed in that night had an indoor pool. My kids have only stayed in a hotel one other time so they were very excited about swimming at the hotel.
We got on the road bright and early the next morning. We were able to stop at the New Mexico border for a group picture but accidentally missed the sign as we passed into Colorado. After a long six hours in the car, we safely arrived at my uncle's cabin in Westcliffe, CO- our first destination on our trip.
