User blog:Chihiru/4th of July Vacation

For 4th of July weekend I went on vacation with my little brother, my dad and my *cofdadsgirlfriendcof*... Anyway we went to Durango, Colorado. On the first day (July 3) we accidentally drove into New Mexico on the way there XD but because we did that we almost missed our chance to get a campsite lol. On day 2 we went to Mesa Verde national park and made reservations for tours the next day. After that we went to a barbecue competition, or more we went to a park that had just hosted a BBQ competition where everyone was leaving XD we had some great food. After that we went to a lake (not sure exactly what is was called, but it started with a V...) and we bought tickets to go out in a boat and watch the FIREWORKS OVER THE LAKE!!! sometimes I write poetry, and right now I'm working on a poem about the experience. On our last day we went to Mesa Verde and toured Spruce Tree house which was a self tour, Cliff Palace which I had never been to before, and probably would have been better with a guide that was more than just the facts. Finally we toured Balcony House, which required some hiking, climbing a 32 foot ladder, crawling through a 12 foot tunnel not much wider than I am, climbing more ladders, and hiking along an open rock face. LOL even though thats exactly what we had to do it wasnt all that bad. Our guide made the tour AMAZING, he showed me stuff I had never seen before (even though I had done that tour before) and made touring a bunch of old, abandoned rock buldings fun!!! Lol it was really fun ^^ Talk to you later
