1 Years Old Together

That's right, this past week, our marriage turned 1 year old. It seems like yesterday we were saying I Do in the Butterfly Pavilion, but in all actuality it was a year ago. Crazy how time flies. So, for our Anniversary, Julia and I took a trip to Beautiful Estes Park, Colorado. Although Julia is in a cast, we still had a fantastic time. We got some really beautiful pictures on our way home because we came the long way home through Grand Lake and over Trail Ridge Road. I know it was our Anniversary, but we did not get any pictures of us together mainly because we did not carry the camera too much because Julia was crutching around and Matt was carrying other things for her. Here are some pictures of the scenery that we saw coming over Trail Ridge Road.











One of the things we did was visit the Historical Stanley Hotel and took their Ghost Tour. You may remember the Stanley Hotel from the Movie The Shining. We watched the Mini-Series of The Shining, written by Stephen King the night before we went to the Ghose Tour. It was a pretty cool tour, and the coolest thing was that you could actually feel the presence of the ghosts around you. Our tour guides name was Scary Mary, and if you ever take this tour, make sure you request her. She is the supervisor of the Ghost Tour and she REALLY knows her stuff. She turns a normal hour and a half tour into closer to a two hour tour. I'm not going to give you too much detail about the tour just in case you ever want to go take it, I don't wanna give anything away. But just take a look at some of the pictures and see if you see anything weird in them. We noticed as we were looking at them that some of them had bright spots in different places. You will see on the second picture that there seems like there was an extremely bright light where I took the picture, but there was no light and my flash did not go off. Here are those pictures. Very cool tour. And by the way, there is even part of the tour specifically for the kids, so they would love it as well. A couple of the pictures did not actually come out, although there was plenty of light, they just came out pitch Black. Some crazy things happen in that hotel. But we had a great time. Hope you all can go check it out sometime.
