This morning we awoke early, fed the troops, and let Liesl and Chris get back to their weekend.
We went and visited with Jenny's family (pictured) for awhile and had a wonderful lunch. It was really good to see them. We received an interesting history lesson from Uncle Harry about the difference between a true Cajun and an Acadian. It was funny, but I may get in trouble for repeating it on the world wide web.
After that we pointed the Odyssey towards Estes Park. The view of the Rockies was phenomenal today. Jenny has been having flashbacks all day today as this is the first time she has been back in twelve years. I even caught her shedding a tear while watching the kids playing near the Big Thompson river in town. I'm so glad to be visiting Estes again, and it is so much more special with Jenny and the kids this trip.
The first mountain picture is of Long's Peak from our cabin (center). Jenny has been on the summit of all of the ones pictured, and I must say she is a true "Ironwoman" for doing so.
We ate an awesome dinner at Ed's Cantina tonight, and sipped our draft Fat Tire with a sense of nostalgia. It is awesome to be back in Estes...
For my ADV riding pals out there, the last pic is of a really cool Supermotard downtown Estes. There are some insane bikes up here, and I can't wait for our 40 year old B-Day trip. (Jenny just hit me on that note).
Hope you all are well, and can't wait to post some good pics from Rocky Mountain National tommorrow.
