Estes Park Shopping

Howdy!

The man and I went up to Estes Park yesterday. I wanted to do a little shopping and I had a feeling what I was looking for was there.

The drive was beautiful. We haven't gone up there during the winter before and the light blanket of snow on things was just breathtaking. We crossed a bridge to the shopping district and the river below was a layer of ice with water flowing below it. This picture doesn't quite "wow" but hopefully you can see the water below the ice.

We drove through Evans on the way and the damage from the September floods was amazing. There is still a lot of debris and destroyed homes. The roads are open again and I know businesses are thankful for that. My heart goes out to those families effected by the floods. I can only hope that 2014 brings them a fresh start.

The shopping quest? A success! I got the man what he wanted for Christmas. We're both happy. On the way home from Estes Park, we stopped at Beau Jo's for some awesome pizza then he drove me through the Tech Center to see the Christmas lights. A wonderful day together. Happiness abounds.
