Durango: Part 3

So, part one was about our drive to Moab.

Part two was about our trip through Arches.

Finally diving into our actual visit in Durango.  

We stayed in a beautiful "cabin" in Durango (I say "cabin" because while it was rustic, there was nothing rough about this place).  A friend of Tara's family graciously invited her and her extended family to stay, so we had a destination vacation, nestled in the mountains with a humongous herd of elk nearby for company.

elk in the backyard - this is just a tiny fraction, the total herd was in the hundred's

We had tons of family time:

Ben & Shea

Matthew, Shea, Ben & Ruby (and part of me ha ha)

Ben, Nana & Matthew

Ben & Ruby playing some random game with Nemo and/or Dori

probably the last time these two can pull this off ;)

movie night: Beauty & the Beast (while Tara & I sung obnoxiously along to every song...I may have also mouthed all the dialogue...)
