Adventuring

So my family is not your typical family that when they are visiting somewhere they will relax at the beach.
No we are the type that need a vacation after a vacation.
And this mentality also applies to pretty much wherever we go.
We explore where we are.
Its really hard for us to relax.

So it was no surprise we were up early and ready to go to Mesa Verde on Saturday.
Now Mesa Verde or the entrance to the park is about a half an hour from where I live and then its another half an hour until you actually get to something you want to see besides the twisty mountain roads.

Now this is like my 3rd time to Mesa Verde.
The first was about 14 years ago when our family went on vacation down here.
I was 7.
And that was a super fun vacation.
I came here about 3 years ago with my ex and his parental units and we toured around and did some stuff.

And then I came with my family this weekend,
Still just as amazing as when I was seven.
I love how unique the cliff dwellings are.

Unfortunately Owen was at the wheel so we had to stop at every single stop even though it may be another hole in the ground.
He is legitimately as human sponge.
When he was interning for the Air and Space Smithsonian two years ago he got through the entire thing in 15 hours.
He read every sign on every wall in every exhibit.
He's that kid.

But we had a ton of fun just going around and went on a few little hikes and it rained and I may not have been prepared and had to wear Owen's extra shirt but it was OK because I got to spend the day with my favorite crazy people.

And then after all of that we came home and made dinner and Deanna and Carter came over and got to experience the madness of my family.
Now I love the family but sometimes they like to tell embarrassing stories but for the most part the stories they told were pretty mild which is good.


So after a long day of hanging out with a wild family and then stressing on what they would do with the friends, I went to bed content on what all happened.

Thank god.
