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!

I got lucky last night....lucky in the sense that Sri, one of my best friends in the whole wide world, invited me to the police concert.....her husband is on a business trip and he bought her these tickets so she would have something fun to do while he was gone...a girl's night out. Nice husband!!! I was floored when she asked me to go, and I immediately said "OMG...YES!!!!"
Then I found out where we were sitting...5th row, CENTER!!! HOLY ****!!!! I was ecstatic...
I thought it was so great to finally have some girl time with Sri...just the two of us...just like the good ol' days in high school. We have been friends for 25 years (O.K...THAT makes me feel ancient!). We have been through so much together and with both of us having busy lives and a young family, it is next to impossible for us to have some good, quality time, the kind of quality time two old girls need! What better way to spend our night than to reminisce at THE POLICE CONCERT!!!!
Here are some fun shots I got on my little point and shoot and some video footage, too! But let me warn you, the video might be a little shaky...I tried my best!

This was such an amazing performance. We were literally in awe watching Sting...and his wife was right in the same area as we were! How cool is that? Once people stood up and starting dancing around, we were in the aisle and actually moved our way to the front row. I have never been that close at a concert, so I felt like it wasn't actually taking place...very surreal!
Thank you Lance, for giving us our girls night out!!! Sri, I love you! Thanks for including me!
You guys should audition for real housewives of the oc...no tix for lotto? J/K
(06.22.07)Is that Sri going strapless? Congrats on that.

It's amazing for me to watch children...children that you have not seen in a while, and to watch how they have grown both physically and mentally.
Today I got together with my friends Tiff and Kik. Collectively, they have 6 childern...3 each!!! I am totally head over heels in love with each one of them, and it was so fun for me to see how they have grown!!!
I have known Tiffany and Kik now for over ten years, but unfortunately do not get to see them as much as I'd like to due to busy schedules for all of us!
Although it may be hard to spend good, quality time together with our busy lives, I really value and cherish the times that I do get to spend with my friends...and it's a bonus to have my children spend time with their children. I think Katie and Cole love it as much as I do!!!
