Everyone kept apologizing for the weird weather. I think the 70's is more typical than the snow, for sure! Yeah, it was SUPER unusual. Everyone kept apologizing for the weird weather.

I REALLY love it in autumn. Such a beautiful show of colors! Oh, my gosh, it just takes your breath away. I've never been there in the dead of winter, though, and I'm pretty sure I'd get very tired of tons of snow very quickly. While the mountains in Tennessee don't compare to those in Colorado, at least the land is not completely flat here. (To a girl from south Louisiana, just the tiniest hills here seem like mountains!) Our winters are much, much milder, too. Glad you guys had a great time, and super glad you got to hang out with the Goods. Isn't it fantastic that the Internet gives us the opportunity to meet great people? Even better is the fact that you can use the Internet to purchase plane tickets in order to go visit those great people. Petunia and I are still hoping to meet you and your family one day!

Perhaps it is b/c I want you closer to me, and I know that I am not going anywhere....who knows where laurie& co. will be in a couple of years....probably in SE Asia somewhere(and then we can all visit them there....)....Move to the east coast... we have mountains, variable weather, oceans, ME and soon Chris.... Seriously though, these pics are amazing. I am so glad you guys got to have some awesome family time! Apparently I am not feeling to CO love….

You're right, it's just not fair to compare any other state with CO. I would move there in a heartbeat, if only I could convince Tim. Although that is some seriously crazy May weather.

Now that you've seen 'em, there's no going back. Trust me. Flat land will never be the same to you! Colorado misses you guys. Come back.

I heard there is quite a large population of MI people living in Denver, they even have a Red Wings bar ??? The pictures are great! I'm so glad everyone had a wonderful time! Anytime you need a snow fix again, feel free to come visit us in Michigan!! looks quite wonderful!! my heart has always been in the mountains. that is why we tried living in TN for awhile but it wasn’t for us.
