Nadeen, Myself, and a Raft..

Ok so we left off saying how excited we were to go to Telluride, CO, well we ended up bypassing it altogether and headed straight for Durango. We had hoped to go snow tubing at some point in Colorado but as we researched it further we couldn't find much useful information about when and where we could do so. When we got to Durango we headed to their ski resort to find out some information in person, not realizing that the actual ski resort is just as confusing as their website. In short we didn't end up snow tubing at all but we did buy our own pool raft and set out to find our own mountain to go down. IT WAS A BLAST! The pool raft worked great and I'll definitely be using that idea in the future.

Other than sledding we just did some minor car maintenance stuff, went to the pool, hung out around the downtown area, and the hotel.

On the day we were leaving Durango we got up early and took a half day train ride through the San Juan Mountains. This was fun... and long. We did get to add prairie dogs and big horn sheep to th list of wildlife that we've see so far... although we didn't get pictures of either.

After Durango we set out for Petrified Forest in AZ. Not realizing there was going to be another time change due to Arizona not participating in daylight savings (Nadeen was very upset about this) we had a longer drive than expected and got into the campground fairly late. The next day we went and explored Petrified Forest National Park and Sedona, Arizona. Petrified Forest was cool... but there is only so much wood you can look at before it all looks the same. We spent a few hours there and then moved on.

Nadeen ended up loving Sedona. I had been there before so I knew what to expect but it's definitely somewhere I didn't mind going again. We got ice cream, saw a mountain that looks like snoopy, and a super cool church that's built in a mountain.
