Sorry for the delay in blogs. We haven't had good internet service. I guess there is a lot to be updated since the last post!
On the road (the first time):
We left for OKC on May 8th to visit Dustin's granparents and Grandmoi and Stan. We had a great visit with both of them. Lots of good visiting, good shopping, and good eating. You can always count on that at our grandparents. We didn't take hardly any pictures while we were there. We did take one of Dustin and I with Grandmoi and Stan at the Jazz Club, which we enjoyed so much. A night full of Hideaway Pizza and Jazz-it doesn't get much better than that!
After OKC, we headed to Denver. We ended up staying with Terah's college friends. They were so sweet to make us dinner and give up their bed for us! We really enjoyed hanging out with them.
The next day, we got the call that Dustin's aunt had passed away, so we headed back to AR to be with his family. We ended up staying there until Friday and then headed back to Fayetteville to hang out with the families. We had fun spending some last minute time with my fam and then spent Sunday with Dustin's family going on a motorcycle ride down the pig trail, which we really enjoyed! We took off again on Monday. This time our take off was pretty anticlimatic :)
We got to Denver on Monday evening and stayed with Terah's friends again.

Tuesday, we headed to Boulder for the day. We rode our bikes around town, which is a great way to see places. We are REALLY glad we brought them. Boulder has lots of cool shops, which I thouroughly enjoyed. However, Dustin did not. He did enjoy being outside in beautiful 75 degree weather! He had a strawberry/nutella crepe, which lifted his spirits :)
Sweet picture of me on my bike in Boulder :)
After we spent an afternoon in Boulder, we headed to Estes Park. The drive was beautiful and we enjoyed riding our bikes around the town in Estes Park. We even encountered a herd of elk. Dustin got about 5 ft from one! It was pretty surprising how tame they were!

In Estes Park, we were looking for a spot to camp and hiked up to this beautiful view. We thought the Sube could make it, but decided against it since we've already had 1 flat tire on the trip...
We left Wednesday morning and headed for Aspen. We tried to drive through Rocky Mountain National Park, but we were two days early and they were still closed for the season. Aspen was a cute little town, but a little expensive for our budget. They had stores like Gucci and Prada if that gives you an idea. We enjoyed riding our bikes around town after a day in the car.
Our first meal campfire style-spaghetti and green beans.

Way to update. We've been blessed to be a part of the trip through this blog, keep up the good updates. The helmets are a good idea, yes I agree with Grandmoi, and your face shows the same dismay you did when I use to try the helmet schpeel when riding the four-wheeler....it's your only head. Hope the Sube and the bikes are staying in good repair. We enjoyed Maria and Juan and family for a BBQ Sunday. Denise, Dennis and Emily came over Monday. Hog-eye Ramblers rehearsed the DDR jingle. I am hoping we can use it for radio spot in June. We had 10 dogs boarding Sat-Mon.!!! We miss you loads. Tell the Olgires we said hello.
