Scenery changes

Whirlwind business trip with Honey last week. I decided to go with him this time instead of staying home. I was excited that I was going to be able to "see" Steamboat this time around! Last year, we were late to the annual meeting and the town shut down by the time it was over. This year, almost the same thing happened. I am hoping that NEXT YEAR I can actually shop the shops and look around. It is one beautiful valley. Oh well. It was a business trip and Honey gets busy with things like...business...go figure.

I was bored with all the driving so decided to take pics of the scenery that we saw as we traveled. It's all beautiful in its own way.

First stop was Salt Lake, Utah. While Honey was in meetings, I shopped a bit, then drove around the Avenues. I love the architect of all the old houses. Got lost and found the Capital building too.

This is Meeker, Colorado. Honey loves this place. I told him I couldn't live there because they have snakes. He kept telling me that they didn't have any snakes. I told him that we passed one of the highway that was dead. He didn't believe me. Well. The manager had just caught two rattlers while on a job site and killed them. No thanks!
 

Steamboat Springs, CO. Gorgeous, beautiful, spectacular place! Now this is some place I could live (snakes or no snakes)! I picked up a couple of Home magazines that showed what was for sale around there. I don't think we are going to be moving there anytime soon. Lots of homes for $3 or 4 million. Even found one going for $20 million!!! What does someone do for a living to have that kind of cash to live in a home that expensive?! The area reminds me alot of Jackson but I think Steamboat may be a bit more upscale, if you can believe that.
 

Drove back through Meeker and then back over to Vernal, Utah.
 

Then it was time to head home. We have to pass Flaming Gorge. Quite a popular place for boaters and fishermen.
 

It was a quick 3 days, at least I got my book finally read. I hope this next week I can get some sewing in!

Steamboat Springs is a beautiful place. That is where I graduated from High School. We lived up the mountain by Fish Creek Falls, and you could see the ski slopes out our front window. Glad you had the opportunity to visit there.
