Labor Day Weekend 2008

We took a little road trip over the holiday weekend. Our adventure started on Thursday night with a late night stay at the Super 8 Motel in Leadville (interesting). We woke up Friday morning and drove the Independence Pass to Aspen, CO. Chris had to work some, but then we went to see the Maroon Bells. They were beautiful. That night, we went to see Widespread Panic at the Aspen Jazz Fest. We had a lot of fun and it was a great show. The venue was awesome, but I didn't have my camera.

On Saturday, we drove to Fruita and met up with our friends Josh and Amber from Keystone. We did some biking that afternoon in the Bookcliffs area, but it was extremely hot so we set up camp and took it easy. When we woke up on Sunday, it was overcast and raining....and raining....so we drove through Colorado National Monument Park. It was really pretty. We went and did some fun riding in the Loma area on the Kokepelli trail that afternoon. We got caught in a flash flood, which was interesting and fun. On Monday, we did some more riding, but just stayed a half day. Chris lost the screw to his rear break (not good) and I sprained my ankle! However, we all survived with just some bumps and bruises.

Warning: There is a crazy amount of photos!

We got caught in a flash flood today in Auburn during the game, but that doesn't seem as exciting as your flash flood! The pictures are beautiful and it looks like you all had a good time!!

Oh, and Chris and Emily have the same "I love taking pictures" face...
