The Monday After

It's no fun to go back to work on a Monday after a long weekend, so I didn't. My boss gave me permission to work "off-site," which included many sites.

First, I worked in bed with Jen Sunday night and Monday morning. Then we had to run, so bad were my cat allergies. I have learned this week that I still cannot buy a cat. We headed to Loveland, where we stopped at my old work, Group Publishing. We worked in the cafe, and I got to see many of my favorite people.

Then the sky was so blue and Longs was so white that we could not help driving to Estes Park to work at the lodge at the Y.
After some work and a walk to the livery, we ran into these dudes in the parking lot. 5 bull elks with huge antlers and 3 more elks with medium antlers. Check out the size of this elk next to the van. You can see 3 other elk in this pic.
A couple of them kept locking antlers.
It was the best elk viewing I've ever seen in all my countless trips to Estes.
Then we drove back down the canyon, and lo, what sits at the foot of the canyon? Glacier ice cream. That was dinner. A fitting end to a lovely week of excess.

Awesome! I am sooo thankful you got to come out and visit, and happy, too, that you got to traipse to Estes, my favorite spot in the world.
