Rock Star Parking

The day started early: so much to do in a short amount of daylight hours! We loaded up the car and headed to the South. After a short detour through the Starbucks store in Castle Rock, CO, we headed up into the front range mountains. We of course had to take the scenic route via CO 67. On the route, we stopped at a cute little mountain gas station and were greeted by a sweet couple willing to offer us some fantastic homemade cinnamon rolls (for a small fee of course!). They were almost as good as Grandma use to make! We continued on and enjoyed the drive through the mountains to Woodland Park. The approach to Pike's Peak Highway proved to show the road was open to the summit. We paid the price and we began the slow, winding trek to the top. We have tons of photos, however - the videos are the best!

So what is with the blog title you say? Everywhere we went today, we got a parking spot right in the front; we didn't need 'the moms' parking pass. It was fabulous! We figured that meant today was the perfect day!

Well, we both need to pack as we fly out tomorrow: Danelle back home and me to Omaha for work.

C'ya!
