Durango Day 1

At the end of September, we all traveled to Durango, CO for my brother's wedding to his wonderful fiancé, Stephanie.  Day 1 was all travel.


First, a plane ride to Denver.  Then a chair lift in the airport!

We rented a minivan for our drive to Durango...it was just like home!

The drive took alllllll day long, but was so beautiful!  I couldn't stop oohing and ahhing at the mountains all around us!

The aspen were a beautiful, bright yellow

We passed lots and lots of ranches with entrances like this

Potty break at a gas station.  I find it hilarious that the Sinclair gas station mascot is a dinosaur!

More aspen

More aspen by the continental divide, I think.

Taking a short hike off the road to see the stream we had been driving along.

Meg and Mom had to put their feet in the water - it was so cold!

Gorgeous scenery





We drove along with Dad C, Erica/Violet, and the CCs, who were in a huge church van, and met up with them for lunch and a few stops.  We all got into the rental house right at dark, and it was a mad dash to eat, pick bedrooms, set up for bed, etc.  No pictures the rest of the night.
