I’m so glad that we have these special pictures to prove how beautiful Colorado is. It was an amazing trip. We decided to drive to our destination – Estes Park. It took us 16 hours to get there. It wasn’t that bad because we were super excited to share this trip together. The funny thing is that car rides make me hungry, so I made sure to pack lots of extra snacks just for me! :)

We arrived at Estes Park on Sunday evening, just in time to catch the sunset over the mountains. We reserved 3 nights in Wildwood Inn. I liked this place most, especially their Tempur-Pedic bed. The next morning we stopped for breakfast at Egg & I in Estes Park, which we really enjoyed. Erich’s favorite was the Hiker’s Benedict! After breakfast we packed our gear and went for a ride to the Rocky Mountain National Park! I must say WOW!!! This place is so beautiful. I was in seventh heaven with all those clouds surrounding us. Not to forget that I love nature and wildlife.

I enjoyed our first day very much, but to be honest one thing bothered me a little bit… Sadly, people ignore the signs about not feeding the wildlife (and trust me they are almost on every stop) and let their children share their chips and junk food with the birds and animals. We witnessed it on a few occasions. Also, we were approached a few times on the trail by tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks and birds begging for food.

To be continued…

We like this place! This time we just stayed for one day. We had a great lunch, strolled around the Botanical Gardens and ended up our day visiting good friends of ours.

While we were exploring the city we came across “Dobrá Tea” and I knew immediately that I wanted to go check it out. I had a feeling that this place would be connected with the Czech Republic and I was right. It brought back old memories. I remember how we used to visit Tea rooms. These places are very popular there.

You can find more information about the Origins of Dobrá Tea here.

I love macro photography. It’s amazing to look at the pictures and see all the tiny details. While I was taking some close-ups, I noticed an Asian lady beetle landed on one of the petals. Yes, we have some at home. It is a “leftover” from the beetle invasion we had last fall.
