Continuing our countdown of my dream family vacations, we hit #6 on the list…

Colorado

I know, I know…that’s a WHOLE STATE. It’s just…some states deserve to have the WHOLE STATE on a list like this, you know?

Unfortunately, in this case, my kids have totally beat me to the punch SO HARD on this. They went, they saw, they conquered, and declared it their favorite state…which only furthered my desire to go.

I have an entire book series set here. I’ve been in love with Colorado (as a place to visit, I’m too much done with snow to want to live there) ever since I watched Dr. Quinn and saw the Red Rocks featured on an episode. I’ve always felt called to go see it some day…and I’m not jealous at all that my kids beat me to it.

I’ve heard really amazing things about all of the sights and the activities that can be done there.  My friend and former coworker went a couple of years ago and still talks about it. My kids still talk about it.

I just want to see it ALL…including the area where I set my little town at (there’s a real town there that I could visit) to see what I’ve always envisioned it looking like come to life.

Have you ever been to Colorado? What was your favorite part? Do you live there? What do you recommend as a MUST SEE?
