Every time I travel, I realize how sheltered I have been. I'm so easily impressed by every little thing I experience. This past week I experienced Colorado for the first time (along with a little New Mexico and Utah along the way). Andrew, Seth, Stampy and I took a long road trip to visit Andrew's family.
What was supposed to be a 10 hour drive, took about 13 due to a missed turn off when it was my turn to drive (no, I haven't lived this down yet) the drive was much longer but far more scenic! My mistake landed us in one of the most treacherous canyons in the states "Red Mountain Pass" if you know me, you also know that I have a SEVERE fear of heights! So...I closed my eyes through many of the scenic views but, I what I did see was AMAZING!!! My favorite site was the many frozen waterfalls and the little towns in the base of the canyon. I did survive without a single panic attack, which I'm sure Andrew is happy about and I'm glad I got to witness Red Mountain Pass but, I don't care to ever see it again!

When we arrived in New Castle, where Shelley & Donnie live (Andy's Parents) Seth couldn't wait to get the snowboard strapped on, he spent the rest of the evening going up and down the hill in the backyard, making sure Stampy didn't miss out on the fresh powder!
Seth was a natural on the slopes, tearing it up like he'd done this before, speeding down the mountain, even going off jumps! We spent the weekend sledding, snowboarding, ice skating and Andrew and I even got a little BJJ in while I assisted Andrew in teaching a 2 day seminar at the local gym. All in all, a great weekend with Andy's Family and some of his elementary school friends that he still keeps in touch with.
Thanks so much Shelley and Donnie for a wonderful time and one of Seth's greatest weekends of his life!
Can't wait to see Colorado again this Summer!
