Ah, the majestic mountains! We have had a standing joke about photographing the scenery: as we drive around Colorado Springs, one of us will want a shot of the mountains – right now! The first time one of these Kodak moment occurred, I looked in the rearview mirror to check for traffic. There was nothing behind me, so I said something to the effect that I could stop in the middle of the road because there was “no traffic behind me, really.” Of course, I didn’t stop in the middle of the road, really, but on Thursday Beth and I decided to finally capture some of those Kodak moments while we were looking for the rehearsal dinner spots. We pulled off the road into a corporate complex, and did a U-turn just after the lovely island of plantings (Dave- FYI – it had pansies). I parked at the curb and we jumped out to take the much-wanted photos, and a truck comes up the hill out of the complex. The van wasn’t exactly blocking the exit driveway, really, but it was going to be tight. Next a little Acura comes whipping up the hill, and Beth is concerned he won’t see the van. I’m feeling like a total tourist, and said so. Beth said, “The way I see it, it’s paybacks for all the tourists we have to put up with in Florida.” So now, anytime we have to make a quick lane change, U-turn, try to parallel park
or whatever, the comment always comes that it’s OK because there is no traffic behind us, really.Eventually all the photos that everyone took the whole week will be posted to Snapfish so you can retrieve any that you want to print. The hotel’s wifi has been kicking me off every two seconds, probably because I'm trying to upload 150 photos at 2.4 MB each. So I’ve not been able to get all the photos up there yet. But for teasers, here's one of the random tourist photos Beth and I took of the Rampart Range on Thursday. It's beautiful out here, and very little traffic. Really!
