Road Trips for Aw...Mondays

Aw...Mondays Saturday we attended the Scottish Festival in Estes Park, Colorado. On the way up there our daughter Rebekah said she thought she saw a Moose in this little park off the main road. As we drove home later that day, we saw him napping in that park so we stopped in the driveway next door and he obliged us by letting us take some photos of him. Afterwards,  he went back to his napping.

We had a great time at the Scottish Fest although the weather was overcast, raining and fog hanging on the mountains.  I overheard one gentleman in the traditional kilt and tartan plaid say to someone, this reminds me of home, in Scotland. 

I love barns so I took this photo. In Lyons, Colorado on the road to Estes Park.

Rebekah bought this cherry cheesecake at Colorado Cherry Company Since 1929 where the company was formed in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin when Grandma Katherine quickly built a reputation for her  pies and cider. They moved to Loveland, Colorado in 1950 and they have a location in Denver since 2021 as well as Estes Park.  They even sell cherry chocolate coffee and the cutest coffee mugs. They have a large friendly staff to serve you and their business is booming. Was the cheesecake delicious...? you betcha! Rebekah also bought apple cider and made the most delicious baked apple cider donuts today!

We should have worn different shirts to Guanella and Averytown as our son-in-law Zach calls Georgetown because Avery is really George Avery in honor of both of his grandfathers.  We had to eat our yummy lunch inside the car as the wasps were thick as thieves!  My cute Target hat kept the sun off my nose and face. 

Love is....an end to a perfectly wonderful and very spontaneous drive to the mountains twice in three days!
