The Origin of Your New Nickname (at least the one Grandpa Hyde calls you)

Road Trip

Saturday July 29th -  Thursday August 4th

The older kiddos stayed at Teri's house and you and I went with grandma and grandpa Hyde on a road trip to see some old outlaw sights and visit the South west. It was a great time for all of us.

First stop Glenwood Springs, CO and a hike to the old cemetery where Doc Holliday and Harvey Logan are buried.

Delta, CO

Telluride, CO 

Location of the first bank that Butch Cassidy robbed

Mesa Verde National Park

4 corners

 Those people in the background took like 800 pictures of themselves posing on the corners.  We came back 20 minutes later after browsing the shops and they were still at it.

Alma, Mexico

 W.S. Cemetery -- Butch Cassidy worked at the W.S. Ranch and some of these headstones were from before his time there.  It was neat to know that this little cemetery was there when he was.

The Very Large Array - National Radio Astronomy Observatory

Santa Fe 

Turkey Creek Canyon - Location of the shootout in which Sam Ketchum was caught and Elzy Lay was captured.



















Here are a few more pics from the trip ---
 Dantley was so good during the long drives and even at night (because he got to sleep with mommy).  He wasn't the best when we went to the Harry Potter movie in the theatre -- I spent almost the entire show chasing him back and forth.  He talked like crazy during our Mesa Verde tour (almost on cue) and the guide kept laughing and playing off of his noise.  During the trip Grandpa started calling him Butch -- and I think that will be what Grandpa calls him from now on.  I kind of like it.

All in all though it was worth bringing him along, even if he won't remember a thing.
