So, after a slightly uncomfortable night at our SUPER cute KOA, we woke up with a few kinks in our necks. But overall we really enjoyed the KOA experience. For breakfast we purchased a quarter gallon of milk at the KOA store to go with our cereal that we already had bought. It ended up being too much so we found a nice lady and gave it to her – she said her daughter would thoroughly enjoy it. We’re so nice.
We left and headed to Telluride which was SOOOOOO cute. It was a little ski resort type town with lots of local restaurants and shops which were fun to peruse. It was tucked in a valley that was surrounded by HUGE mountains. Coincidently, there was a big bluegrass festival taking place, which made the town more fun to visit. There was a lot of hustle and bustle, lots of music and we had great food from a local café.
After about two hours we continued on our journey towards De Beque, where the daughter of Ali’s pop’s professor lived on a ranch with her family. They, Kathy and Chris, were kind enough to let us stay for the evening. Not only did they give us a place to stay, but they provided us with great entertainment, company and an AMAZING meal. Their daughter and her friend showed us around the ranch. Like AAAALLLLLL around the ranch, and introduced us to all of the animals – chickens, ducks, kittens, horses, cows, sheep . . . everything :) And the gang of dogs, who like the Las Vegas crowd, varied greatly in shapes, sizes and colors. We had a lot of fun sitting around the fire with Chris and his buddy Fur, where we heard a lot of really great stories (how true they were, is still a little questionable ;) A little later, around 10 we all sat around the dinner table and ate a great meal. Chris truly is an amazing chef and they picked on us so we felt right at home. Around 12, we headed off to bed for a great night sleep (no kinks in the neck the next morning). Thanks pop/Bob for making that connection for us :)
