A Sister, a National Park and a Hot Tub

This weekend my sister Sarah visited me from Washington. On Friday, we headed up to Estes Park, Colorado, one of the most beautiful places on Earth. We stayed at the Alpine Trail Ridge Inn, located near the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. Friday afternoon we went shopping in Estes and then met some friends for dinner. When we returned to our hotel, we were psyched to go hot tubbing, so we put on our suits and headed out for a soak. Unfortunately the hot tub was closed, so we came up with a creative alternative.

On Saturday we drove up into Rocky Mountain National Park and stopped at Trail Ridge Gift Store where our parents met. We saw elk and marmots and breathtaking mountain scenery. The weather was beautiful for most of the day, although it started to rain as we were heading out of the park.
