When we were at Emerald Lake (the one that was still frozen) it was so cold we could barely stand it!<br /><br />Oh yes, if your babies are there with you, I bet you will have so much fun because it will feel like home is right there with you. :)Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-7470737153680084412016-06-22T15:03:40.427-04:002016-06-22T15:03:40.427-04:0011 days is a long time!!!!!!!!!!!

I fell asleep during part of the tour (when we were in the bus) and I just wanted to get home. <br /><br />That's so funny that you said the ducks made you think of the kitties. When Adam and I are on vacation every single animal makes me think of Cecil and then I miss him a ton. In Cannes Adam and I saw a seagull and called it Cecil the Seagull because he looked so much like Cecil! Just like every cow i saw in Texas looked just like Cecil and every horse in Georgia looks like Cecil, etc. I may have serious issues, haha!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-60786205701250131562016-06-22T12:54:41.010-04:002016-06-22T12:54:41.010-04:00RMNP looks amazing.

While kind of creepy, I loved the solitude. By the end of the day, I was so annoyed with all the tourists and the buses. <br /><br />I missed the boys while we were away. I'm sure they didn't miss me!Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-69517335568561323462016-06-22T11:28:57.994-04:002016-06-22T11:28:57.994-04:00You can stay busy when you go to a tropical locati...You can stay busy when you go to a tropical location--but also relax.

To when you were in the snowy part?<br /><br />I believe the only time I remember seeing a bear in the wild was while we were in Alaska. <br /><br />I can TOTALLY relate to being homesick on vacation. It just really hit me hard this past week while I was gone. I was ready to come home on the first full day I was gone. I think it was due to some other incidents that happened as well, but I think 3 or 4 days is my limit. Our next vacation we are planning we will be going with my family and our labradors will be going too so that should be better.

We want to go somewhere tropical next where we just lay around and relax. 4 days sounds like too much relaxing to me but it could be nice. :)<br /><br />That was my one and only bear sighting even though we have them in PA and I have been alllllll over the trails here.Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-80593070977417509222016-06-22T08:46:02.841-04:002016-06-22T08:46:02.841-04:00Those lakes are just incredible!

If we go to a place in Colorado we normally just go for 2 nights. I get homesick and miss our life routine. I have been to those lakes many times and yes, I have seen black bears from very far away.
