Journey from Vancouver to Colorado Springs

July 23rd at 7:00 am we arrived back in Vancouver to sunny skies. We got off the ship and took a shuttle to Vancouver Airport (where we parked our car). The shuttle took us right to our car. The parking for 21 days was only $134 - which is fantastic because they wanted to charge us around $500+ at the pier. Thanks, Scott, for the suggestion of the Airport parking. Departed Vancouver around 9:30 am and ended the day in Pendleton, OR. It was a beautiful, scenic drive.







July 24th we drove from





Pendleton, OR through Idaho, Utah and Wyoming among ever changing scenery. We spent the night in Evanston, WY. Today was Bryan's 29th birthday, sorry we missed it :(.






Saw Mt Ranier from a rest stop along the highway. Here it is in the distance, it is 14,410 ft.







July 25th we left Wyoming and drove the rest of the way to Jenny's.

We spent 3 wonderful days with Jenny and Jesse.





We went to the Garden of the Gods one day and walked - what a beautiful place. Everyone should see it at least once.




















One day we also got to hike in Mt Cutler, Cheyenne Mountains. Very high and very scenic. Neither the Garden of the Gods nor Mt Cutler are far from Jenny and Jesse, lucky them they get to see and hike them often.













We got to go to Jesse's school when Jenny registered him for the fall session. School starts August 10th. If you can believe it, Jesse will be a Sophomore this year - way to go Jesse. He goes to classes at the school in the morning and then does on-line classes in the afternoons.

The morning of July 29th we departed Jenny's for home.
