Even though we just got home from our honeymoon/vacation on Sunday morning, it already feels like it was only a dream. 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…
