Funny Vacation Story from the Royal Gorge...

Sunset over the mountains at the Royal Gorge. Taken at center of bridge.

The Royal Gorge was beautiful as the sun was setting over the mountains. We were so excited to be there! The girls in the car were a little apprehensive about driving over the bridge, however, that is where the better stuff was. On we went. Chris was a good pilot. We made it across safely. Abby and I decided we were all over the bridge. We wanted to see animals, so off we trotted. I told the stories of feeding the deer pringles and Lay's chips when I was a girl and they LOVED them. Abby saw quite a few wild dear but wanted nothing to do with them. This would be a major understatement. She wanted them to trot on my quickly. We saw mountain goats, mountain rams and we saw Abby's all time favorite BUFFALOES!!!

Emma and Chris were busy having an adventure of their own. An older couple were fighting over whether or not HE was going to go over the bridge 1/2 way on foot. He was not, Period.

She was and she thought him an ass for not going. He was more than happy not to drive off and leave her. On her way back from the bridge she stopped and told Chris, "Don't ever be married for forty years.... All you get is Heartbreak". Chris said some nice soft things to her and she settled down. Poor lady. We all met a lovely couple from Alabama who were out on their honeymoon! I just loved them!!!!! Tells me that God has a plan!!!
