Our posts my be a little sporadic over the next few days as we are making the eighteen hour drive from Colorado Springs to Chicago. We are visiting our youngest daughter and enjoying one of our favorite cities. Chicago has so many restaurants, museums, and sporting events that we’ll likely be very busy over this holiday weekend, but we’ll connect as much as possible. As the home of the first skyscraper, we absolutely love the architecture of Chicago, so we thought we would share a few photos from our last trip to the windy city.

It was the first time, and it wouldn’t be the last. Two weeks after our youngest daughter moved off to college, we boarded a plane and flew to Cabo. It wasn’t that we didn’t miss her, it was just that we were ready to start the next chapter of our life as a couple. From the moment that we arrived in Cabo, we fell in love with the town. We went during the off-season, so there weren’t a ton of people, but even during the busy season, it isn’t over-crowded. Within the city limits, there is a height restriction of seven stories, so there aren’t the enormous resorts with thousands of rooms like there are in places like Cancun. Since our first trip, we’ve been back a couple more times and our passion for Cabo has only grown. It is our go-to location when we want a vacation, not travel, but a “sit on the beach with a drink in your hand, complete relaxation get-away”.

This is our entry for this week’s Discover Challenge: Opening Line. Not only do we like to go back to Cabo, but we like to revisit our photos from Cabo as well, they are soothing and calming. All of these were taken during our very first visit to Cabo, which actually ended with a hurricane coming into town on the day that we left. We have shared other pictures from this trip in the past, so these are all photos that we haven’t previously shared.

One of our favorite hobbies is to get out into nature and to go on a hike. If we could, we would probably go hiking every weekend, but unfortunately life doesn’t always cooperate. Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is all about Walking, Indoors and Outdoors, so we thought we’d take everyone on a hike with us. We’ve put together a series of photos from a recent hike that shows the various transitions of the trail as it wound its way into the mountains. If you use your imagination, you can feel the mountain breeze, hear the chirping of the birds, and smell the trees and wildflowers. So, come along with us as we walk along a single trail in the Colorado Rockies.
