Season 6: Episode 5: "THE ROCKIES, 2024: ‘Family Vacation’ is an Oxymoron" - PART 2✌🏼
Picking up where we left off last time, as we travel southwest through Colorado to Montrose to visit Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Next, we headed to Ridgway where we stayed, & explored Telluride, Ouray, & Silverton, before heading back home.
…and PSA: The term “Family Vacation” is an oxymoron! 😂 There will be no “vacationing,” just taking care of your kids in a different place, with new, beautiful things to look at, & more tantrums than usual. TRAVELS & TANTRUMS! Each day feels a little bit like an episode of “Kids Griping in Beautiful Places,” but we wouldn’t trade it for the world! Totally worth it! 🥰
