So last Friday morning Rick woke up and thought "hey, a road trip would be fun, let's go to Denver, CO." So when Trevor and I woke up we got ready and left. We stopped for treats in Green River, Utah and picked up some brochures about Colorado, and also a map. So just after Palisade, CO there is a scenic tour called the wine loup. It goes up through Grand Mesa National Canyon, which is amazing. Everything there is so green and lush. Then we stopped at a couple of wineries, which are beautiful. Kept driving, and driving stopped at a winery/local store in Paonia, drove up through McClellan pass, which for those of you from Utah who think we have mountains, you have not seen anything until you see a mountain so high no vegitation grows towards the top of it. So we drove to Glenwood Springs, which has the largest hot springs pool, and had dinner. How was the hot springs? Wouldn't know we went and checked into our motel and swam in the coldest pool, until Trevor's lips turned blue, it took about 5 minutes, then we went back to our motel room and let Trevor swim in the bathtub.
The next morning we stopped at a few more wineries, let Trevor play with the animals, stopped at a fruit stand, and of course had to stop in Green River and buy a watermelon, which Trevor loved.
How was Denver you might be asking yourself? I wouldn't know. Our scenic trip took so long we decided to head home instead of keep going to Denver. How close were we to Denver? From our house it is about 7 hours we've been told. We were about 1.5 hours way from it. Guess we'll save Denver for another day.

So how does Trevor do on road trips? My only saving grace is the DVD player in our car!
Trevor does great in the car. He loves to get in the car and drive around, which is a good thing since we have always loved taking road trips. People say he must sleep a lot in the car when you drive. Well he sleeps, for instnace when I drove from Mesquite to American Fork (which is a 5 hour trip) he slept from Mesquite to St George (which is about 40 minutes) So he was only awake for 4 hours and 20 minutes. So since he doesn't sleep, it's a good thing he loves being in the car.
