| | Honeymoon for Andrew and Christie Burton
Andrew and I being both adventurous people longed to
do a Honeymoon that required some hiking and stunning views. Colorado was an
easy choice. It had been years since I'd been there and Andrew had only been
during the wintertime.
Each day has notes and images.
| Honeymoon Day 1: |
|
| 11 1/2 hour drive to Amarillo and
dinner at the Big Texan. A few storms at night didn't produce any
lightning to photograph. It was all inner cloud stuff. |
|
|
|
| Honeymoon Day 2: |
|
| We travel from Texas to New Mexico
into Colorado via Raton Pass. Then we stop in 7 Falls and see the falls
and a funnel cloud. Score one for the Storm Chaser! We head out of
Colorado Springs and towards Loveland
before reaching our nice cabins in Drake Colorado...just down the road
from Estes Park. |
|
|
|
| Honeymoon Day 3: |
|
| We went into Estes Park for
shopping. The town is so charming! Then we headed up to Fall River Road
and saw amazing sights. |
|
|
|
| Honeymoon Day 4: |
|
| Today we travelled up the regular
road to Alpine Visitors Center, then past it just a little. We got out
several times and walked around enjoying each other in this glorious
land. |
|
|
|
| Honeymoon Day 5: |
|
| We headed into Rocky Mountains one
last time for a hike and then rested for our long drive home. |
|

| Honeymoon
Day 6: |
|
| We went to Capulin Volcano State
Park on the way back to Amarillo and saw a funnel cloud...the second of
the trip! Then we were treated to an amazing show of storms once we
arrived in Amarillo. |
