Trip Itinerary

Here is the low down on the trip details so far. Nothing major will change from this so you can plan on this trip or something very similar to it.

We'll leave Friday the 7th sometime after supper. 6:00 p.m.ish. We'll drive through the night and get to Colorado and go white water rafting. I have talked to the ropes course we did last time and that is available.

From there we'll have some pizza and stay at a hotel in Fort Collins for the night. We'll be staying at a different hotel. This one is close to some outlet malls and includes a continental breakfast.

Sunday we'll head up to the convention at the YMCA of the Rockies. The convention will be packed with fun free time, great speakers, (I'm one of them) and music. They have a roller rink, pool, mini golf, hiking, the best Frisbee golf course I have ever done, ect. ect. ect.

We'll be there until the Wednesday the 12th. From there we are heading down to Denver to visit the US mint! Seriously. Yes, the Mint. Hey! It is the number 8 "Thing to do in Denver." And it appears to be free.

Then we are going to visit the best REI in the Nation and follow that up with a quick bite to eat and then catch a 6:30 Rockies Baseball game. I got us tickets in the "Rock Pile".

We'll hit the hay at our second hotel about an hour out of Denver in Georgetown. We'll get up bright and early to do some hiking. We're going to have to get up at around 6:00 am because we need to hit the trailhead by 7:00. My goal is to get a late checkout so we can get cleaned up after hiking and then pack up.

From there we have two options. There is a mall nearby where we'll be or we may head to this crazy restaurant where there are high divers! Yes, high divers in the restaurant.

Then, its back on the bus and we head home through the night. We'll get back late morning or early afternoon on Friday, August 14th.
