All Aboard...Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Every 5 years, the Roy Pennington Family (Aaron's Great Grandfather) and descendants, plan an adventure somewhere in the United States.  My first opportunity to travel with the Penningtons for this celebration was back in 2007, when we ventured to the Smoky Mountains.  This year we headed for the mountains again; however, we chose the Rocky Mountains, and ventured to Steamboat Springs, Colorado.  The summer of 2012 was a record breaking heat wave, so a week in the mountains was something we were absolutely longing for.

We spent 5 days (July 14 - 18) out in Colorado in a condo with Aaron's parents and Sister and her family.  We had a great time relaxing and just taking in the scenery.  We had a great showing of all of Aaron's immediate cousins and family.  It was so nice to catch up with everyone.  Every night a different family hosted dinner, so we had a great chance to socialize. 

I was in my 10th week of pregnancy, so as you can imagine, I was pretty much a royal bum the entire time.  I slept, ate, and slept some more.  It was AWESOME!  I only got a little mountain sickness on the way home.

All in all, we had a wonderful time in Colorado.  Gosh how I love the mountains in the summer.
