Colorado.

A few weeks back Tom, Penny and I decided to load up the car and head out for our 1st family vacation.  Since Penny is still touch-and-go with her car seat, we decided to embark on our journey to Castle Rock in the middle of the night while Penny slept.  Yes...left our driveway at 12:30 am...the things you do as a parent so your child will sleep.  Turns out the drive out for Penny and I was actually great...i slept a bit...Penny slept a lot.  Woohoo...good girl!  Tom...not so much.  (thanks babe...)  We rolled into Castle rock at about 8 am to my sister Celine and nephews Lane and Gage eating breakfast outside.  We had such a wonderful time on our trip...a few adventures out and about, wonderful weather, no humidity, some downtime and just plan great to see my sister!  (wish you could have been there, Dana!)  I'm crazy b/c i didnt take a whole lot of pictures but here's what i did capture...

Tom fell asleep on Lane and Gage's tiny chair of all places the morning we arrived...

Crashed on the couch

Penny found a comfy spot to sleep...with Celine's baby bump. :)

Thank you Celine and Vance for letting us stay!! We had a wonderful time!  Next time we will prob drive home at night as well though...it was a little stressful on momma!  How did i not get a single picture of Celine and i together??  Love you!
