Colorado
In July 21,2016 we had decided to take a mini vacation to Colorado by car. Colorado has many beautiful places to visit to explore. The nature, the breeze, will leave you In shock. Before leaving, I had to make sure the car was ready to be run for hours. Made the oil change, check the tires and so on. From Houston to Aspen Colorado, was about 22hour trip because we would stop to get gas and grab some snacks for the road. During the long drive I would see a lot of beautiful mountains that would surround me and have a really nice view of the rivers. In order for us to get where we were going we had to ride this really tall mountain in order for us to get to the other side of the mountain where we would stay the night. It was about 10:30pm, the climate was 60 degrees rainy and foggy at the same time was hard to drive the hill up. I started praying while we were driving up the mountain. By the time we got to the top of the mountain I was pale, nervous and crying because I was scared of height so my sister had to drive down the mountain.
The next day we got ready to go to Las Gondola. It’s a really beautiful place to explore with the family. It has big checker games and big bowling pins. The most ride that everyone likes to take is the Gondolas it’s a sky cab chair

We did the Gondolas, Lake and Greeley at the same week. This week I would never ever forget to many memories I have safe in my mind and heart. I am so ready for next year have to go and do many more things that I didn’t have time to do. If you want to take a mini relax vacation I will consider you a trip to Colorado yes you would have to save some extra money because things are a little spencer in there than in here in Houston. But it will be worded to do it. Colorado has a really good weather at nights the temperature drops to a cooler temperature no A/C
