Find New Places for Getaways

RE: Find New Places for Getaways Post By Connie A. (Guest Post) (07/18/2005) The answer to this of course depends on your location. Most states have wonderful state parks that we as natives many times overlook. You can go locally within your state and rent a cabin/condo for a weekend and enjoy what the parks have to offer. Solitude, serenity, nature, water, boating, horseback riding, biking, etc. in many cases. It's usually only a few miles away and with gas so high you can have a fun mini vacation and pay very little. Relax and enjoy what God has made!!!

This was his idea as a couple of times he didn't know where to eat out and asked me to surprise him. One could translate this to going to Medieval Times or a sports game, just make sure that the spouse has a couple of hours available in his schedule. I don't like surprises, so this wouldn't please me at all, but a special some one might think it's cute.

If it's open, depending on what time of year you go.....take the Fall River Road (one way, dirt road) and then take the paved road (Trail Ridge Road) back down to Estes Park. The Trail Ridge Road is the highest continuous paved road, I believe, in the world.
