The Summer So Far...

Before the weather got unbearably hot, we got the hell out of Texas.  Jordi and I are spending the Summer up here in Colorado and we won’t return until Labor Day.  Happy.   
On our adventure, we have made a few memorable stops along the way.  Dallas, Santa Fe, Denver, Estes Park, and now Telluride.  Dallas to hang with our aunt & uncle, Santa Fe to show Jordi where his parents got married, Denver to visit with best friend Darcy & her beautiful family, Estes Park for a relaxing family reunion, and now Telluride for the rest of July.
Here in Telluride, the biggest decision of the day is which mountain to hike up.  Yesterday morning, we went to Bear Creek Falls for a 5 mile hike, stopped back at the condo to refuel, and then headed back out to hike Ridge Trail.  Evenings are usually spent grabbing a pint across the street at the local brewery and then bedtime when Jordi gets tired.
And today, we are going to get a birds-eye view of the San Juan mountains by hiking up on the See Forever Trail.  Forecast calls for sun, so we are going to take advantage of it. 
I snapped a few pics from our hikes yesterday...
