Whomever, came up with the term the Lazy Days of Summer did not have any kids! Summer is always such a high energy time with familial obligations and get togethers, folks wanting to look at land during thier vacations, and owners wanting to get their land on the market for those folks on vacation.  I realized recently that I did not get a chance to do any of the fun things that those folks visiting Colorado get to do :)

Well, summer is not quite over and it is never too late. Think I will venture out and enjoy a day trip or too.  Where to start is the hard part. I can go stroll through the Garden of the Gods, or enjoy fresh and local grown produce at the Farmer’s markets, both in Canon City and Pueblo, and I always have loved the feel of the

Salida area which is a magnet for Artists and Craftsmen alike.    
   

  

 

Hard to choose when right here in Pueblo, just about every weekend there is something going on at the Riverwalk usually involving food and music :) http://www.puebloharp.com/ Or the Greenway and Nature Center it’s a bit more low key http://www.natureandraptor.org/ 
I have a list of local history museums too…and I am sure there is something new going on at Art Center in Pueblo http://www.sdc-arts.org/
 
Or maybe just head into Westcliffe and enjoy some of our States most captivating views of the Sangre De Cristos which at this writing are already snow capped peaks!
Better hurry though cause soon enough it will be time for a our annual journey to see the aspen change. Just need to decide between the Gold Belt tour or the Frontier Pathways http://www.goldbeltbyway.com  http://www.frontierpathways.org 
 
Happy Trails ~
