Switerland of America #Ouray

Denver, CO traveling to Ouray, CO

I can now see it clearly.  The mountains are so beautiful and simple lying with so much rough detail.  My world just got bigger.

What a sight to see when I look back and I see Lillie and Freyja looking out the Jeep Wrangler window to see the mountains of Colorado with me.

It is amazing when you drive through the mountains not knowing where you are going to stop.  When pointing a finger on the map to the next destination, you hope that luck is on your side.  Well, not only was the drive gorgeous for over 5 hours into the mountains in Colorado, but the destination was a small town with hot springs called Ouray, Colorado.

Ouray, Colorado was another destination where I felt like home.  I felt like I was walking into my small town of Brownton in Minnesota when I was just a little girl. But I was now 30 years old, 14,000 feet up in the air and in the mountains with the Jeep Wrangler.

This was one of the first nights that I dreamed of my Grandpa Goebel in a very, very long time.  I was so far away, yet I haven’t felt closer and more connected.

Found some beautiful artwork on the way to the coffee shop that morning.  What a wonderful town filled with life and color.
