long drive

we drove all over colorado yesterday, and this was the only photo i took. one crappy, fuzzy photo of the flatirons.

my roommate and i took this great drive through the mountains, stopping in nederland on our way to boulder. i loved nederland. i spent a big chunk of today looking it up online and figuring out places to go camping up there. it was so beautiful. it reminded me a little of the town i grew up in, just in that was small and kind of in the middle of nowhere. plus, they have a campground where you can rent yurts and if you know me at all, you know i love yurts. the weather has been so lovely lately, all i can think about is going out into the woods and building a fire, having a hotdog, and taking naps out in the sun. i know, i know, it's not exactly roughing it, but i am more of a relaxation camper. i'm not ashamed.

we spent the afternoon and evening in boulder, which was super fun. i found a book i'd been thinking about buying, some funny baby tattoos for maggie, and a few little treats for the boys. it was nice to wander around the town, i kept meaning to head down there and explore a little. the ride out there was gorgeous, and now i have new camping destination. in all, it was a delightful day.
