My first week home.....

Well, I got home Sat. pm and Sunday night my great friends from IA were here for a visit. Tom and I spent the next two days looking for a car. We found one!! I'm now the new owner of a 2011 Subaru Outback! :) I couldn't have done it without Tom! He was great!! THANKS TOM!

Finally on the third day Carol and I got to play and go for a hike. It is spring time in the Rockies. The snow is still melting and everything is so lush and green. It is awesome!

The water in Spring Creek is a little out of it's banks as you can see here. But we walked around the water places and thoroughly enjoyed the hike that morning!

On the way home from Spring Creek Trail we saw this sign in a neighborhood. Carol was bummed that we didn't see any bear while they were here. Rats!

Each meal was soooo delicious!! I guess I'm still on a high from just getting back, but the food in America is SOOO good! :) We even had a banjo player entertaining us while we ate at the Creek Side Cafe. Tom enjoyed singing along with the guy! It was lots of fun!

We had to share Fish Creek Falls with Tom. It was amazing this time of the year. The sound was so loud and the water was rushing at full steam!!

And of course we couldn't have them leave Steamboat without sharing a drink at Sunpies! We sat along the Yampa and watched the kayaks go down the river. What a great way to re-enter the USA! Great friends and back in my lovely Yampa Valley!
