Mountain views from the road.Charlotte and I awoke refreshed on Sunday morning. BP and I made an egg frittata with toast and mango for breakfast. Perfect nourishment for traveling. BP's roommate, David, joined us and we shared quite a few laughs. Nice fella!
We packed up and said our goodbyes and set out for Crested Butte. It was about a 5 hour drive from Boulder to Crested Butte and we only made one wrong turn. We had beautiful weather which made for great observation of the beautiful mountains that we passed. Our biggest trek was crossing Monarch Pass, a giant mountain. Going up wasn't as bad as going down. Really needed to pay attention here! We also came across the Colorado Trail. Someday, I will thru-hike this trail!
We arrived at the mountain home and were immediately greeted by my uncle Johnnie and Carole and Carole's grandchildren, Valerie and Jackson. Happy hour began. We also discussed proposed hikes for the week and other plans including my cousin Jody's arrival and Carole's birthday. It was truly relaxing to sit out on the deck with a glass of wine looking out over the mountains. Carole treated us to a wonderful steak dinner. What a wonderful way to end a long day of traveling!
