trip to the mountains


yesterday Josh and I went to the rocky mountain national park to get pin for my map of the world. we took our dog with us and she was mostly behaved, she even volunteered to drive for a while.
there was a lot of congestion on the roads so i was quite crabby toward the end of the trip. in the park, there is a one-way dirt road that leads to the visitor center. this was closed. how rude. so we took the other way up, and the visitor center was closed too! i was so pissed because the pin was the whole reason for the trip!

after leaving the park we went to the celestial seasonings plant to get another tea cup. Josh's favorite tea cup is from there. so he keeps saying to me maybe we should get another one. i'm not sure if he wanted one so i could have one too, or so he could use one while the other was dirty. he says it's the former, i disagree. but we got one that was a different design, so the whole trip wasn't wasted. also we got to see some elk close up and finally some more pictures.

YEAH! Pictures! How pretty - how can you say the trip was "all for nothing"? You must be spoiled with all that scenery just hanging around ALL the time! Sorry about your pin - can you call and find out when the visitor center will be open? I hate for you to have that gaping hole in your map for too long. Thanks for the pictures - you guys look great!
