Estes Park

Last weekend, we took a family trip to Estes Park for a visit with David and Gail Skinner. They have a beautiful home with guesthouse on the mountain side. They were gracious enough to give us a tour of the Stanley Hotel and take us on a riverwalk through town. We also went to Estes Lake in hopes of swimming and bike riding, but the weather did not cooperate. We had a great time, though, and hope to make this trip a yearly tradition.For those of you that don't know, Erica is named after their son Eric, who passed away. Eric was a close friend to Justin and went to school with both of us. It was great to finally get to know his parents and share in some of their memories.
