Nifty 50 - Steamboat Springs CO, Sept 10-13, 2021

Wow,  It’s been a month since I turned 50.  For my birthday we went on a 3 day trip to Steamboat Springs.We drove there on Friday afternoon with a quick stop for dinner in Vail to see Russell and Lisa who were there for a few days.  

We stayed at the Wyndham Resort in Steamboat and had a nice 2 bedroom condo. 


On Saturday we went to the Farmers Market.


Then in the afternoon we went to Strawberry Hot Springs. 



It was, by far, the best hot springs I have ever been to. The setting was so gorgeous up in the mountains.  We soaked for 2 hours. 








For dinner we went to our favorite CO pizza place called BeauJo's.


On Sunday we swam in the resort pool




Then went on a hike to Fish Creek Falls. 










We had dinner and cake at the condo that evening. 







Monday was my actual birthday.  We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast 



Then checked out of the condo and headed for home through Rocky Mountain National Park. 


It was a beautiful day in Grand Lake where we stopped to get sandwiches to eat in the park. 



It was a little chilly at 10,000 feet where we stopped to eat. 


But we saw beautiful scenery as we drove through the park. 








We even saw a moose!



I had a perfect, relaxing birthday weekend.  Here’s to the next 50 years!
