Happy Birthday

Sand Domes 023Sand Domes 025 Well yesterday was Mary Ann’s birthday…We woke up and I told her this was her day…”What do you want to do”…Her decision was to go to the National Park Sand Domes…We left about 10am and would stop in Alamosa for lunch…We knew we would have a heavy meal for dinner, so we just had the chicken Oriental salad…We had lunch and headed for the domes…The National Park was 110 miles from Creede…The domes are the tallest in the world…It is well worth the trip to experience the contras of terrain…We watched the movie in the visitors center and needed to head back to Creed because we had reservations for dinner…We made it back about 5pm and our reservations were not until 6pm…We went to the Antlers were they have an excellent chief…Mary Ann ordered the prime rib(which was highly recommended by Carroll Barnes…If you remember he was activities director at the resort several years ago)…I ordered the rib eye…The meal was excellent…It was still light and late in the evening so we decided to go look for wild animals in the mountains…We got back to the motor home just as the sun was setting…A beautiful sun set…What a wonderful way to end Mary Ann’s special day…I guess at our age every day is special…I hope you like the pictures of the domes…Talk to you later…PhilipSand Domes 016

  1. I can see your beard in this picture. The sand domes look impressive. It seems kind of strange for sand domes to be in Colorado. Glad Mary Ann had a good Birthday. Sis
