Colorado

For Thanksgiving this year we decided to join Derek's extended family for a feast of fun and food in the Mile High City. We've done road trips before.
Many of them.
And, we LOVE them! Even with Jack in tow we knew driving 15 hours through four states wouldn't be too difficult. Wait. Did I say 15 hours? I meant, like, 30 hours. One way. So apparently road conditions in November are snowy & icy & treach-er-ous!

This is Jack & Dada at one of the many rest stops we enjoyed for stopping and resting. (this one was still in CA)

Despite a few white knuckle experiences.... we made it! And, Jack did very well stuck in the car for SO long...except for one time when...well...no, I'm not going to tell you about his carseat-diarrhea-had-to-throw-away-his-clothes-episode. You'll loose your lunch, and that's just not nice.

We enjoyed a wonderful couple days of eating and playing and enjoying each others' company.

But, then as vacations tend to go we had to DRIVE BACK home! AHH... It started out well... but at one point in Utah we were parked on the blizzardy freeway for an hour because a big rig had jack knifed about a half mile ahead of us.

Next time we attempt a road trip in the snow, we'll be driving our Range Rover.

We are so thankful for our many blessings! "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17
