Blog Journal ~ Day 4

What is your favorite vacation?
This is easy peasy! For the last 5 years we have gone every summer to the YMCA Camp of the Rockies just outside Estes Park in Colorado! It started because my father-in-law had a medical convention there every summer, but now that he no longer practices we continue to go because we love it so much. We rent a cabin in the mountains and meet them and my hubby's sister and her family for a week of F.U.N and R.E.L.A.X.A.T.I.O.N. The activities are endless! The YMCA site itself is basically a little town. Down in front of the admin building is a field, miniature golf, a basketball court, and through out the 860 acres is frisbee golf. They have a stable with over 150 horses including some clydesdales they use to pull the cart for the hay ride and weenie roast, and you can reserve to go on a horseback ride through the Rocky Mountain National Forest for a view like you could never imagine! They also have artists and singers come in for nightly performances or painting classes, camp for the little ones, a zip line, a huge crafts building, and parks to stop and play all over. There is a library, a general store, and lots of sweet families enjoying the mountain air. You can sleep with the windows open, and if you wake really early you might get to see a bear walking around. Last year there was even an elk that liked the shade of the cabins porch next door and seemed to love his photo ops. Now that I have built you up..I'll share some photos.
