This roadtrip sounds lovely! I've never been to that part of Colorado, but have spent some time in the CO Springs area, and it's a gorgeous state.

My husband and I are going to take a long roadtrip through a couple Eastern European countries in a couple months, and I cannot wait! I'm not usually a big roadripper but I love the idea of moving around at whatever pace feels good.

CO springs is so nice. Because my cousin has lived there for a few years now she’s taken me to all the hits outside of Denver. It was nice to explore a little farther! Ohh which countries will you go to? Road trips are all about the snacks and entertainment!! It’s good ole fashioned fun.

Colorado is such a beautiful place! I love visiting my family down there, they’re always exposing me to the best outdoor adventures. Last time was rappelling and outdoor rock climbing, both firsts for me! 😬

Yeah and no depth to the character! We didn’t know anything about why she was the way she was and it was frustrating

What a fun experience, Brenna. It's wonderful to be able to explore places at your own pace and in your own way.

What a fabulous trip!!! Fun, and love your new dress. Here's some fun summer reading I think you'll like after seeing your Good Reads feed: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (by Taylor Reid). Shrines of Gaiety (by Kate Atkinson). City of Girls. (by Elizabeth Gilbert). If you like these, I have a lot more on my list! Let me know. Oh, and one of my favorites--Beautiful Ruins, by Jess Walter. They're GREAT!
