One of the benefits of Jason's profession is that his signature seems to be quite valuable. Well, not like super valuable, but much more than mine at least. All it took was a one hour meeting and his signature for him to be called the "Medical Director" for a company based out of Boulder called Avid for Adventure. His payment..... a free trip for the crew!! (Except Autumn, but she had a lovely time with both grandmas)
Now this was camping!!!! They set up the tent, did all of the cooking and took our kids each morning from 8AM-2Pm. The kids went hiking, canoeing and on a ropes course. As for Jason and I, we were able to hike, explore, read and mountain bike at our leisure. I personally loved it. Jason on the other hand, did not love being a part of a group and having to do "appreciations" around the camp fire at night. Can you see his disgust for warm fuzzies right now?
Anyway, the best part, by far, was the scenery. This was my first trip to Crested Butte, about 5 hours South-West of Denver. This is a town to visit! It is both "the last great Colorado ski town" and "the wild flower capital of Colorado" The elevation is 8924ft. so, even in August, we were comfortable. The kids played camouflage in the flowers and played under a water fall. Jason had to stop several times on his ride, so he could take the flowers out of his spokes, but said it was the best ride he had ever done. It was truly amazing and almost Jurassic Park-like.
(Oh yeah and the lake was a bit chilly)
