Rocky Mountain High

 We had a great trip with Renee and Kami to the Rocky Mountains.  Here we are in Estes Park where we took a tram ride to get great views.   Renee grew up coming here to feed the chipmunks and now she got to share that with Sam.  What a lucky little guy!











  We had a picnic in the Rocky Mountain National Park and a beautiful scenic drive.  It dropped down to 45 degrees and rained on us so there was no hiking.  We still had a blast.


In honor of my father….
The Stanley opened on July 4, 1909, catering to the rich and famous, including the RMS Titanic survivor Margaret BrownJohn Philip SousaTheodore Roosevelt, the Emperor and Empress of Japan, and a variety of Hollywood personalities.  The hotel and its surrounding lands are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.    The Stanley Hotel also hosted the horror novelist Stephen King, inspiring him to write The Shining.
