This is the quaint, charming home we rented while in Estes Park. It was quite nice, but we were there during record heat and the house had no air-conditioning. None of us slept very well, and we spent our days in front of fans trying to stay cool... of course, most of the time you don't need air conditioning in Estes Park, but the week we were there had record high temperatures!
Part of town...
Because of the lack of air-conditioning and the stifling heat, I couldn't bring myself to drink coffee in the morning, so I bought some iced coffee instead, and Hannah fell in love with it. Ever since then, she starts her day with a cup of iced coffee!
Okay. The food adventure of the trip (there is always at least one). We went to visit Danny's brother Donnie in Fort Collins and he took us out to eat at a local chain for breakfast. It is called Snooze. You walk in the door and are assaulted with the smell of bacon frying and the tantalizing, sweet smells of pancakes cooking. They only serve breakfast and lunch, so they do it right!
We had varieties of pancakes and eggs - from eggs benedict done three different ways (totally gourmet) to pineapple-upside down pancakes, red velvet pancakes, sweet potato pancakes sprinkled with pecans and ginger-maple syrup. I am talking mouth watering, gourmet, melt in your mouth pancakes. We all agreed it was the best breakfast food we had ever eaten! We loved it so much we found another Snooze in Denver and went there the following week!!
We also took a couple of hours and went to a shooting range and shot handguns - even me! It was really pretty cool, but I most enjoyed just watching the kids do it.
