Into Thin Air - Steamboat Springs!

After an early flight and several hours of driving we arrived at the Mueller's beautiful house in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. We went fly fishing, hiking, hot spring swimming, and explored the beautiful rustic downtown area.

The house was surrounded by Trout Lillies


The ladies went on a hike while the men explored fly fishing options







Bettie knows a moose knuckle when she sees one.






This picture of a fence got photobombed by some pretty ladies.





This being Colorado, there was likely a different kind of pot at the end of this rainbow





Italian food!

Fly fishing with the menfolk

Bettie died of dysentery and we lost two oxen while we tried to ford the river.


Kittles!

We went to the Strawberry Hot Springs. It's like taking a bath with a hundred other people.

USVI Part 2 - The BVI!

Sorry about the lack of recent updates.... Things were a bit hectic when we got back! Here's the rest of our trip!
On our last day, we took a trip to the British Virgin Islands, specifically one called Virgin Gorda
We enjoyed a lunch of Conch Burger at a restaurant above the baths. A rooster wandered amonst the tables and ate dropped food scraps.

The Baths are a large area of rocks that have been worn and tossed by the sea over millions of years
Spelunking!
Absolutely beautiful caves beneath the rocks
A beautiful, beach with the waves crashing through the rocky shore.
Oh right! And it was New Years Eve! Sadly, we were exhausted and ended up going to bed at 9:30pm. But we had a delicious last dinner and a bottle of champagne and we celebrated New Years at the same time as people in Iceland.
