Last weekend our little family took a road trip down to southern Colorado. We followed the Sangre de Cristo mountain range, and spend the night at a mineral springs spa outside Salida. Luka was kind to nap while mom and dad soaked in the relaxing pools. Have you ever slept in a Yurt? We have now. . On Sunday we drove down to the Great Sand Dunes nestled at a foot of 14 000 feet high mountains. In the pictures it's quite hard to appreciate the magnitude of the dunes, but when trying to summit the 700 f peaks of sand, one must wonder: How did all this sand get here? Suggestion: if you are going with kids bring sleds and sand buckets. We really appreciated living in Colorado last weekend.
