It was one of the more grown-up vacations I&#39;ve ever taken. The 6 of us (Diane.  Max, Jac, Gabe and Raya and I) spent the week in a rented house, with a rented car and ate rented food&#8230; We packed a ton of stuff into each day &#8230;   lots of it outdoors. We hiked, ran, rafted\/kayaked and visited ruins ate well&#8230; slept well and just enjoyed hanging out.. We had an 80 inch TV in the house.. and it only got turned on twice.<\/p>\n<p>. I felt like a middle aged couple on vacation with their grown up kids&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and&#8230;..   well&#8230;. I guess we are . and I&#39;m grateful for that..<\/p>\n<p>We&#39;re not flying back to BTV to rejoin the working world.. thanks to the duel miracle and cusrse of airborne wireless I&#39;ve spent the last 4 hours transforming the vague dread of wondering what I&#39;ve missed at work in the past week to the vague dread of knowing what I&#39;ve missed.. not a bad bargain.. As I know.. the world turns fine without us..<\/p>\n<p>I&#39;m really looking forward to breathing at 300 feet above sea level.. this past week we&#39;ve spent at about 9000 feet.. with a few ventures to 10,000&#8230; there just weren&#39;t enough air molecules to go around for my tastes.. Running actually felt like I was trying to get exercise instead of the mindless and pretty effortless thing I&#39;m used to..   Water boiled in funny ways, cakes came out flat and my brain felt like I had an icepick in it for about half of our visit..<\/p>\n<p>but it was a nice icepick and grew to love it like the rest of our vacation.<\/p>\n<p>I&#39;m looking forward to having air that you need to claw your way through&#8230; air you can taste !<\/p>\n<p>i&#39;m also  really looking forward to seeing our Dogs.. I miss them so much when we travel..   People you can call.. but withdogs you need to smell one another&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>OK.. gotta get back to my mound of email.. and we&#39;ll be landing soon.. I can feel the plane already dipping towards responsibility..<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>nite all, nite sam<\/p>\n<p>-me<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both; id=blogsy_footer><a href=http:\/\/blogsyapp.com target=_blank><img src=http:\/\/blogsyapp.com\/images\/blogsy_footer_icon.png alt=Posted with Blogsy style=vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px; width=20 height=20 \/>Posted with Blogsy<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On our way home from a truly wonderful family vacation in Durango Colorado.
