Lessons Learned in Granby



We were excited to spend some more time with the Parkins in a friends cabin up in Granby, CO. While there, we learned a few lessons:


1.) Never underestimate the potential for snow in August. To our surprize, this summer stay in the mountains turned out to be more like a cozy winter weekend. It even snowed for a short while. Fortunately, the cabin was loaded with hot chocolate, warm blankets, games, movies...

and, of course, there is always Dallin to keep us entertained.


2.) Dad is not the only one out there ... their are others who appear equally obsessed!


3.) Never judge a restaurant by the greatness of its chairs. While walking through the cute town of Granby, we were on the look out for a place to eat. I spotted this little restaurant and was inspired by the dining area. Although nobody else in town seemed to have found this place to be the gem I felt it was, I saw potential. Following my lead, everyone sat down to enjoy a meal. After searching for service, we ordered, we waited, we then waited more, we ate and $36.15 later we left feeling hungry and unsatisfied. Next time we'll know to follow the crowds and save the empty restaurants with the cool chairs for other unsuspecting tourists.


In the end, though, it was a treat. We really enjoyed our stay:)
