Roadtrip To Colorado

Sorry for the delay, but figured I would finish the roadtrip series on my blog!

Jacquelyn, Bethany and I headed down to Colorado where we were going for a wedding and had a great time!! We drove through Montana, Wyoming (we hate highway troopers!) and Colorado (good place to drive since we were going there and all). Below are some selected pictures from our roadtrip of awesomeness!

I absolutely fell in love with Montana (well, the parts with the mountains and the river...)

More of Montana

We stayed at a really country-ish hotel/mill and they had a cowboy bedspread which we were very fond of..

Ford's Drive-In, our fantastic lunch stop.

Dinner at Applebee's where Jacquelyn became famous for saying "So, THIS is what Americans are like..." Not totally sure what she meant by that, but we had been driving for long amounts of time that day and were fairly tired. I think it had something to do with all the waitresses wearing white sneakers..

We saw an antelope in the parking lot and told Jacquelyn to go chase it and we would take pictures of her. We soon realized that if you ever want Jacquelyn to do anything, you just tell her you'll take a picture of her doing it and she's all over it! hahaha..

Hey Jacquelyn, will you ride the mechanical bull? We'll take your picture...

The mechanical bull at the Greeley Stampede. We went to the Lonestar concert and saw some fantastic fireworks afterwards!

THese were two really drunk sailors at the Lonestar concert. For some odd reason they thought that all the audience was there and cheering for them specifically (guess they didn't notice the concert going on...) They were walking around shaking hands, hugging women, holding babies... we asked Amanda if that was American Patriotism and if that normally happens and she said no, not quite like that.. haha.. it was pretty funny to watch them though and we had to snag a picture with them!

At our favorite coffee shop, Marge's in Colorado.. Jacquelyn even got some tender loving care for her dreads

Our two new friends at the coffee shop. They were working there and came and chatted with us for a while.

We got a tour of Estes Park, the Capernwray in Colorado which was pretty cool.

Estes Park, Colorado

Dinner at Dave's Smokehouse in Estes. Jacquelyn was amazed at the cheap beer prices..

We went to Rocky Mountain National Park and had a nice little picnic by Bear Lake.

Jacquelyn trying to change in public with crowds of people walking by..

Jacquelyn and I swimming in Bear Lake which turned out to be infested with tiny leech like creatures which later covered my whole body.. Yuck!! Gives me the squirmies thinking about it!

Rachel and Mark's Wedding

Megaan, Jacquelyn, Rachel, Amanda, Bethany and I at Rachel's wedding. So nice to be reunited with friends from Bible School and to be able to catch up!

My heels got a little dirty from sinking into the lawn continually....

The famous Stanley hotel where 'The Shining' was filmed as well as a scene from Dumb and Dumber. We decided to go explore and grab a snack in the restaurant.
