Michigania

Our first real "camp" we have ever been to as a family. Michigania is such a different experience as a parent than as a child. It was a lot of fun, but it still was a ton of work. Sofia went to day camp from 9-5 each day. Unlike Telluride's camp, she did not adjust as well. Poor girl! By the end of the week, I think she did just fine. Not too sure if we will return to Michigania next year, but we will put on the list for years to come. It is so pretty up there and I think once our kids are old enough to actually be somewhat self-sufficient, we wil be up there!

Summer Vacation to Telluride, Colorado

Telluride - August 2006

Sofia and I at San Sophia Ridge between Telluride and Mountain Village

Cory is determined to get the family to fall in love with Telluride. Well, needless to say, it's starting to work! We spent almost a week there this summer. There was no real festival going on, we just bummed around enjoying the family and enjoying the beautiful mountains. If it wasn't so hard and so expensive to get here, I think we would be here more often. Most of our days were spent walking around town, but we did get some couple time too. Sofia went to all day kids camp for a few days and loved it! They went hiking everyday doing fun outdoorsy stuff. I hope she love the outdoors as much as I do!

The weather wasn't too bad.. a little rain, but bearable. We took a hike with Sofia one day and one day we took a hike on our own. It sure is a lot different hiking for 8 hours and then having to come home to two kids who are in desperate need of attention. Oh well, it still is worth it... although I don't call "vacations" vacations anymore - they are called "family trips". A completely different experience.
