Colorado

I do want to plan a trip later, probably in sept, I have seasonal job and work full time all summer.

We belong to a travel club, called Affordable Travel Club, kind of like a trade B & B, I didn't think anyone would want guests at christmas time but someone 8 miles from Boulder is hosting us for two nights.

That will save us a lot of money as club is $20 per night with breakfast.

We ended up changing things, when I checked into driving across Wyoming that time of year I decided to fly to Denver and rent car for a week.

We are going to Boulder area the 20th till 22nd then going to Monument to visit my daughter till after Xmas.

Yes I love our area too but being in middle of state we only get to ocean a few times a year and not here in WA usually OR coast or while visiting in CA.
