My Parent's Visit

In the beginning of August my parents came out to see us for a couple of days. We tried to pack those two days with loads of fun stuff - hopefully my parents thought it was fun, too. Here are a few pictures:

The happy couple.

We took them on the highest paved road in America, up to Mount Evans: 14,130 feet. They both were feeling the effects of altitude sickness by the time we got up to the top so they didn't hike the last little bit up to the summit, instead they opted to stay and enjoy the lookout area. Probably wise.



Look how close my dad's head is to those clouds. It's very impressive to see in person.


Mr X and I climbed the rest of the way to the very tip top. The view is, of course, incredible.

This is the view from the top looking back down where my parents were wandering about.

And yes, in case you were wondering, their altitude sickness cleared up for the most part by the time we got down to a more reasonable altitude of around 8,000 feet.
