Isabella's Playroom: Our vacation in Colorado

The whole family went to Denver, Co. in early August for Chris' FAGD convocation - since he needed to go to receive his certification anyways, we decided to make a family vacation of it. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, especially coming from San Antonio where it has been averaging 104 degrees for the entire summer. While Daddy was at his conference, Mami, Kurt and I strolled around dowtown Denver (16th Street Mall, Larimer Square, etc.) . We also traveled to Colorado Springs where we visited Garden of the Gods and the Royal Gorge. Both places were gorgeous and I got to hike on Daddy's back (very comfy, of course). We also visited Rocky Mountain National Park, where we saw beautiful sights, lots of critters and did some spectacular hikes. It was a breeze for me, but Daddy and Mami kept grunting, wheezing and generally complaining about hiking 3+ miles uphill with me on their backs! Of course, my favorite memory was my first Carrousel ride in the Royal Gorge - that ROCKED! I also rode my first choo-choo train, slid down my first alpine slide with mami and played with some WILD piggies (*Mami's note - they were actually stuffed, battery operated toys...but shhhh!*). It was an incredible vacation and I'm sure I'll remember every detail forever (*wink, wink*).
