Weekend Shenanigans II
The weather rolled in late Friday afternoon, heavy rain and wind. We headed up to Estes Park for our anniversary.
Did not know there was a Blue Grass Festival in Lyons...I was surprised at the huge numbers of people, tents, and crazy traffic as we worked our way through town.
As we drove towards Estes, we gained altitude and got closer to the cloud ceiling.
We entered the clouds just before the Hermit Park turn-off. What an amazing drive, I didn't mind the weather at all. I actually enjoy the monsoons that roll into our state.
We stayed at my wife's parent's cabin/condo up at Mary's Lake Lodge. It's a great little retreat to get away for a short period...or a long weekend excursion.
Early the next morning I was getting a drink in the kitchen, when I noticed the window fog up. It startled me when I looked out the window pane and a little fawn was looking in at me. By the time I got my phone, and was able to take a photo, the little fawn was back with its mom.
Not sure WHO was more surprised...me or the fawn.
At lunchtime, we returned from town with pizza and plans to enjoy our meal on the deck. It's a beautiful view...all the way down the valley into Estes Park and beyond.
My wife ran out of the cabin, onto the deck to tell me that there were wild turkeys behind the cabin.
