Welcome to Colorado!

Well, the Jaggi's finally made it to Colorado! It took us 2 days, a night at a hotel, and almost 12 hours of total driving time, but who's counting. Especially not when you see the beautiful mountains and feel the significantly cooler temperatures. We left Edmond on Friday when it was 104 outside and by the time we arrived in Silverthorne it was about 70. Not bad for 700 some miles. Wow-wee! Yesterday afternoon we wandered over to Vail for their weekly Farmer's Market loaded with fresh fruit and vegetables, delicious smelling fare, and lots of people watching. Vail is so beautiful, especially to us Jaggi's because it looks so much like our beloved Switzerland. Home sweet home, eh? After a quick bite to eat at a little cafe, we trekked to the next village over and hopped the gondola to the top of the mountain. The ride and the views were spectacular and definitely worth a million bucks! We are having so much fun and we wish all of you were here with us. I will try to keep the blogs updated so check back for more Colorado fun soon!

Hittin' the road...

First view of the mountains. (Please excuse the bug remains on the windshield. I did the best I could under the circumstances.)


Chillin' out on the deck with the gorgeous mountains in the background.

Enjoying the day in Vail.





Riding the gondola...

Look at that boy's face! He was so enthralled!
