Nederland

Wednesday was our last day in Colorado. We proposed a drive to Mt. Evans, or a hike, but the girls shot down both ideas. Apparently, we've worn them out! So we settled on a low key day in Nederland. We drove up via Boulder Canyon Rd, and stopped to play in Boulder Creek.









Once we got to Nederland, we found a cute park for a picnic lunch. Then it started thundering and raining. We met some interesting characters in the covered pavilion! As Dad C says, Nederland makes Boulder look conservative!

My favorite sign:



We drove around the town, then walked around when the rain stopped. We rode the Carousel of Happiness, and we enjoyed some ice cream in a hippie bookstore. We drove up to see the dead guy, but really couldn't see his Tuff Shed very well.

We drove home via Lefthand Canyon Rd, which was a lot different than Boulder Canyon but just as beautiful. We picked up Erica's Jeep from the bus stop (they flew to Iceland!), and stopped by Joe and Stephs apartment for a quick tour. Then we all went back to Erica's and Carter's for a delish BBQ dinner. We played with Emma, we watered the flowers, and I did lots of laundry.

It was a great last day in Colorado! Now we're on our way home!
