Well, now we are in Durango, Colorado! We absolutely LOVE Durango. It is a cute little ski town with tons of charm and one great brewery! One day we just walked through the town and shopped around and really got a good sense of their little village. We had lunch at Carver's Brewery where Aron and I were perfectly content...it was a bit rainy...not too cold, but just perfect... we decided to eat outside on the covered patio...the kids swung on the hammocks hanging around the perimeter of the patio...Aron and I enjoyed hanging out and talking, watching the locals and the thing that won Aron's heart...soccer was playing on the plasmas. He thought he had died and gone to heaven!
The next day we took a drive into Silverton, a small mining town just a little south of Telluride.
We took our time driving up the mountain and found a really pretty field amongst the beautiful mountains.
After we got into Silverton and had lunch, we decided to head into the mines. Although it was a cold 47 degrees, it was well worth the trip into the mines. The kids really thought it was amazing to take a rickety little train 1/3 of a mile into a mountain. They also had fun panning for gold.
Our next trip will be Zion National Park in Utah. More images to follow!
Thanks for following our journey!

O.K...this little guy may be the cutest thing EVER!!!
His name is Cody, and he is a very happy little soul. I had the pleasure of meeting my new friend a few months ago through a mutual friend, and I just HAD to get a camera in front of him! I really enjoyed the time spent with him, and I think his mommy and daddy are happy!!!
