We had a great time yesterday! Ben & I dug out the Colorado map and decided to take a journey to Aspen, CO. After verifying the route, we stopped off at Safeway for some speciality sub sandwhiches, drinks and cookies and hit the road. Our route took us thru Hotchkiss, Paonia and many little towns in between.
