Pliny the Younger

My Denver expiration date is rapidly approaching and I am finding myself panicked, trying to cross as many things off of my Colorado Bucket List as possible. One of those items was attending the tapping of Pliny the Younger, this …

campfires

and overall comfort.

It has all the fun of regular camping, without sacrificing any amenities from home!

So we sat on the porch with THIS behind us

just hanging out eating ice cream

soaking in Colorado and all of it’s perfection.

We went to sleep early and were up with the sun to hike into the Dunes.

We hiked all the way over the “Great Dune” and had the whole place to ourselves.

Nicole then attempted gymnastics. See below:

The best part about busting your butt and hiking up sand (note: this is not easy) is RUNNING down the dunes. It’s AWESOME.

Get yourself to the Great Sand Dunes. They’re … awesome.
