Driving Mt. Evans-Colorado
We were looking for something to do during the day that was in reasonable driving distance to the Red Rocks Amphitheater. When we saw that Mt. Evans, the highest paved road in North America fit our criteria, we knew we had to check it out. The drive to, and up the mountain, elicited many oohhs…

Amor y Cafe-Caye Caulker
Never rushed, we take our time, sipping, munching, and watching. Instead of leaving feeling pumped up to conquer our day, we feel blissful and relaxed. If only more days could start out like a day started at Amor y Cafe.

Places to Watch Sunrise and Sunset on Caye Caulker-Belize
We divided our time. We watched the sunset twice at The Split, and twice at the backside beach area. If you are on the island, I recommend both as each offers its own unique experience.
