This is one of my favorite views. I’ve been able to regularly enjoy it in the summers since I was younger than my children are now.  Why? Because my mom’s family (and now my parents) have this time-share condo in the Colorado mountains. 

Maybe it’s the sound of the river (yes, they call it a river) chuckling just below.  Maybe it’s the otherwise quiet atmosphere. Maybe it’s the chance to get away from some of our hustle and focus on family. Whatever it is, relaxing here helps me feel at peace.

I hope it helps my kids relax and feel at peace, too.
