Road Trippin: Mesa Verde

After the Grand Canyon, we headed to a town outside Durango in order to head to Mesa Verde the next day. I'll be honest, Mesa Verde was a bit of a disappointment. A bit of it was closed because of the season, one part was closed for a rock fall, and another area required tour tickets which was sold out by the time we arrived. But we still walked around, saw what we could see, found the dioramas, made the best of it. The kids were being cute taking turns holding Wren. Plus, on the way in we saw hot air balloons take flight and on the way back found a cow pie-shaped hot spring right off the road. AND we found a wild tarantula... so that's cool...
