Meanwhile, Back on the Ranch…

July 8, 2010 by abbie 183 Comments

Okay, this is the last Colorado post.  You can all breathe easy now.  Whew! On our last day in the mountains, the kids and I went horseback riding at Triple B Ranch. A) The ranch is lovely. B)  The horses on the ranch are lovely. C)  The people on the ranch are lovely. Seriously, we were thrilled with every detail of our visit and ride at the ranch and I hope to go ride with them again sometime.  Good people, I tell ya. As long as you're over 48" tall, you can do the trail … [Read more...]

Victor, Colorado

I've mentioned how absolutely remote our cabin was, right?  Well, there was one town that was only about 6-7 miles away.  It's a mere shadow of the thriving metropolis it was back in the early 1900s, but its run-down charm, isolation and population that I could just about count on one hand made it a great place to visit.  It's Victor, Colorado, and while it's barely even on the map anymore, I hope that you'll visit it if you ever get the chance.

Into The Forest

(This is Part Two of my Colorado vacation posts.  See Part One here.) After our first night's sleep at the cabin, we decided to spend the day at the cabin and exploring the forest around us.  After a delicious breakfast, we headed out for a walk.  The kids were all very thrilled to find trees, plants, flowers, rocks that were so different that the ones they find near home. "Mommy, take a picture of this rock!" "Mom!!  Did you see this tree??" "Take a picture of this flower, … [Read more...]
