Estes Park Weekend
We had timeshare points to use since we had accumulated a bunch while in Germany. We booked a weekend trip as soon as we were back in the states so we wouldn’t lose the points. We had planned a Steamboat Springs trip in September – but with crazy Colorado weather and some Denver area flooding we cancelled – which was actually a relief to us since we were ‘travelled out’ and anxious to be in our new house for awhile – only having moved in three weeks before. Instead we exchanged the trip for an Estes Park Retreat at Eastertime. We alerted five soccer teams that we would be MIA for the weekend and off we went, without almost any plan. We left Friday after work and arrived about 8:00. The kids ran around our 3 bedroom cabin and excitedly brought their bags in and chose their rooms. It wasn’t the newest of accommodations – but it was big enough and a fun place to spend the weekend.
