Weekend Gateaway MHK to Coloroda Springs and Boulder

Saturday, June 22nd 2019: MHK to CS

Distance: 7.5 hrs

Temperature at CS: 16c-12c

This was our first long distance drive living in the US since November 2017. We started to drive at 8:30am from our home at Manhattan KS (MHK) and arrived Colorado Spring (CS) around 4pm. Altogether, we had a good smooth drive, but weather was kinda worried soon as we approached Colorado Springs. We were welcomed by scary dark skies, rain and cold at 16c. We did not check in to the hotel immediately, but took the opportunity of the leftover evening daylight to see The Garden of the Gods national park.  The light rain did not stop me from taking pictures at all possible opportunities. After a short round driving in the car, the rain stopped.  I'd say, it was a blessing little rain day to have less tourists around the park!

Sunday, June 23rd 2019:  Colorado Spring to Boulder
Distance:
Temperature: 12c-9c

The next day, we continued our journey from Colorado to Boulder. We had already drove half way through up to Estes Park and hubby suddenly had to make a U-turn. He could not take his fear off the height and the narrow street driving to the mountain. Yes, I was sad but safety comes first.

Testing 1, 2, 3. It has been awhile and I have to refresh my brain how to use this blog again. Greetings from Mata and Hari, the Bengal Cats.

If cat can read

If cat can read, this world would go gaga for him! This is a short story of my boy, Hari. He is a (mixed) breed of a Bengal cat.  He reads to me before going to bed and shut the book. He can do spell check, too. Yes, that was real joke! :)  But he loves watching TV like golf, football, tennis, Animal Kingdom or just anything moving. His most favorite cartoon movie is always Madagascar!

Put your best foot forward

whatever is ahead of you, put your best foot forward and show your better side, be the best you can. there is no such thing that say best foot is “the right foot,” while the left is regarded as unlucky. The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground - Buddha Quote

Thank You Lord, for the beautiful Lightning, the sound of the rolling Thunderstorm, the play of the Lightning and sending us lots of Rain after many weeks of high temperature of sunshine. My Garden is very pleased and so am I.
