Lisa spent all of Barry's money on the vacation and they couldn't afford a taxi so ...just kidding.  While I was at work today the rest of the crew went to Garden of the Gods and had a picnic.  They took advantage of the great vistas and posed for some pictures.  Afterwards they headed over to America the Beautiful Park, had a snack, and played in the Julie Penrose fountain.  We all converged back at the house and Stacie, Lisa, Barry, and I took the evening stroll around the neighborhood.  We have a dog that lives next door by the name of Sherman and his owners are out enjoying the summer breeze.  All the kiddies are in bed and we are in the preparation stage before getting into the hot tub.  Have you ever had to go home from a vacation to get rest?
