THOMPSONS IN THE ROCKIES



 The Monument, Grand Junction, CO
San Juan range of Rockies on the way to Telluride

The long awaited family visit: Malindi and Ryley fly into Grand Junction Wednesday evening and check out where I've come to live at the Residence Inn. Wednesdays are burger night down in the lobby and Tony, the friendliest employee at the Inn,  let me stow away 2 extra burgers for my kids' midnight snack. It came in handy. Thursday morning we hiked a little in The Monument National Park and drove the rim road, oooing and aahing all the way at the rock formations.


Then we were off to Ouray, a mining town tucked in between tall pointy mountains. We were happy to arrive after the 8 inch snow storm that morning or we would have been required to have chains for the car. We had pre-rented skis in town so Friday we traveled to Telluride for a very not-crowded ski day.
