Blackened Fish Sandwich on a wheat french roll. This is right up there with fish tacos. They used a dill cucumber yogurt spread instead of mayo. It was light but very filling. This is one of many breakfast smoothies I enjoyed over the 12 days. Fresh trout from Beaver Lake in Marble. Bony little creatures. …
The picture on my title banner on this blog….came from Crested Butte, Colorado. If I could live anywhere else other than Alabama, this would be it. The weather (ie…snow) is one big plus, but the main reasons are the beauty, the trails, and the food. There are not many places to eat along Elk Ave, …

It’s going to be a long driving day with several stops for pictures, eating, and hiking. I’m hoping to see some wildlife. Lunch was at this place …
I LOVE this place!! Is it the crisp mountain air? The sounds of the Fall River? The spectacular views? Yes……most of the time. But check out this.

I woke up to the cloudless view of Pike’s Peak. I will never get tired of this mountain. This is a shot of the halfway point to the top. After a 3 mile run and a Mallory workout, I had this! Then it was on the way to Denver for shopping. I found what I …
14,110 ft. This morning, I was sooooo excited. I was in Goodland, Kansas, which is flatter than flat. The drive to Colorado Springs seemed to take FOREVER, but all of a sudden, the mountains began to sneak through the clouds. We were here last June and it felt like I never left the small …
I was so excited to go, I almost forgot to sleep. I love everything about Colorado. I have been looking forward to this trip since I got home from Colorado last summer. Counting down the days….literally. Eating on the road is tricky. I had oatmeal bars, Amazing grass w/ fruit juice drinks, and lots of …
That’s all. Just happy happy to be living in a land where I can write a bunch of blog posts on anything and everything under the sun.
