One of the country's best National Parks

I had listened to Sarah rave about how much fun she had when she was 10 at Mesa Verde National Park so much that when it came time for Anna's first big road trip, we decided that Mesa Verde would be where we went. So we planned a full round trip, with Mesa being the apex, and were off.

Here are our adventures within the park gates.

YEA Mesa Verde! I guess I'm a bad parent, too, cause the pic of poor dirty Anna still makes me giggle a little :D

Looks like you all had a wonderful time. Yet, you both know you are going to have to venture back when she is old enough to remember:) Nice page!
