Last weekend, we drove to about 2 hours outside of Denver to Estes Park to enjoy the autumn mountain air!
There were elk everywhere, including the golf course!
We ate at one of the mom and pop shops for lunch then walked around the main-street shops. There were the usual touristy things to buy, but we invested in better things like fresh salt-water taffy and homemade fudge. :) After overindulging, we made our way to the famous Stanley Hotel for our ghost tour!
This hotel is where Stephen King stayed in room 217 (which is said to be haunted by Ms. Wilson, the chamber-maid) and was inspired to write the "Shining".
Jim Carey spent an entire 3 hours in this room while filming Dumb and Dumber, then he checked out of the hotel and refuses to discuss what happened...dun...dun...dun!
"Race you to the top Harry!"
If you ever have the chance to go to Estes Park, go! It's amazing! And you might even hear the ghost of Mrs. Stanley playing her piano at the Stanley hotel!

That looks like a super fun trip! I would probably have been too scared.
