Two weeks ago we went on vacation to Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Here's the great thing about time shares. 
They take you to places that no one's ever heard of before! We went there last year, and because we waited so long to book something this spring we went back there again. On our way down we went to Arches, then seven nights in Pagosa, then on to Grand Junction. In Pagosa we went to the awesome hot springs (while it rained on us all day), hiked, played tennis. Scot and I watched lots of HGTV. Since we don't have cable going on vacation means night after night of HGTV. We took our Battlestar Galactica DVDs, but Designed to Sell won night after night. We drove into Durango one day and went to the Children's Museum and a great train museum there. You have to know that traveling with four kids and Grandpa in the van is a tight fit. My poor dad went with us the whole time. (I'm not sure if he's ever going to go again :-) My mom had taken quite a few road trips with me cross country, but my dad has never gone on vacation with us.

One of the highlights of the trip was going on a horse-drawn wagon ride to a BBQ. After stuffing ourselves we sang campfire songs and told jokes. The boys and my dad did a Boy Scout skit that was the hit of the evening. The boys did a couple of other jokes, too. Once they got a taste of public laughter they were both hooked and kept bugging me to let them tell all their jokes.
On our way back we were going to drive through Silverton up to Grand Junction, but it was raining and snowing. We stopped at the Walmart in Durango, and I talked to a couple of locals in the parking lot. They said that they wouldn't do those mountain passes in that weather so that was enough advice for me. Supposedly it's a two-lane road with no shoulder or guard rail through 3 mountain passes of over 10.000 ft. So we took the long way and decided to go anyway. Scot's Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Reid live there and also an old neighbor/friend of mine Myndi and Gary Smith. When we got there we found out the great part was that in a city of 100,000 they live a block apart!
