Colorado 2010

It's 6am and I was just awoken by "mommy, mommy, mommy!" When I get to her room Anna tells me she's ready to wake up. It's still dark out. I tell her to go back to sleep until the sun comes up. She's excited to go to Colorado so I don't know if this will work. She says she'll take a little bitty nap. After hugs I go back to my bed realizing the alarm is set for 6:30 so we can leave early. Should have let her get up but kid needs her sleep because it's going to be a long ride to the halfway point of Amarillo and we know she doesn't nap in the car seat.

This year we are adding extra miles to the trip to go to the Pikes Peak area. The first 3 nights the plan is to tent camp at the dude ranch M Lazy J where we can ride horses boat and stuff at Lake George. After that we plan to get cabins or B&b or something in Manitou Springs where we will do the cog railroad, 7 falls, and the North Pole. It's all in the Colorado springs area.

I'll likely be posting tweets of desperation on Twitter from the 2 day car ride there and updating this blog till I suddenly disappear from lack to cell service. Since I can't post pictures to y blog from my laptop, any pictures I take with my iPhone will be posted to Twitter (you can follow me by clicking the Twitter feed on the right side of my blog) or Flickr if (top right of my blog) is I can remember (Flickr has an iPhone app that lets me upload pics).

Ok time to get moving!
