» Back to normal

The trip is over. I'm well rested and full of good memories. So here is a brief description of the trip:
We left at 8:00AM Tuesday morning. Had a pit stop in Park County for a quick breakfast, then finished the drive to Valley View about 2:00PM. The place was founded by a hippie couple, so clothing was optional. They call it naturalism. Or if you prefer, a nudist camp. We soaked in the hot springs for hours. I fell asleep for about an hour and sun burned myself pretty bad. No big deal. Had dinner about 7:30PM and we didn't last very long...We went to bed. Next day started with some more soaking, followed by a session at the steam room (sauna). Had breakfast at 8:30AM, then soaked some more...and then we left Valley View, making our way to the Sand Dunes at 1:30PM. On our way we spotted this alien observation building in the middle of nowhere. Funny stuff. Then finally to the dunes. We got there about 3:00PM. The place is huge, and the site is incredible. Sand all over the place with a snow covered mountain in the background. At this point we were all the way south of Colorado. Think New Mexico. So we had to get going back to Denver...We made it back about 10:00PM.
Well, band practice tonight...and I still have to go to work at noon.
