Long Weekends are nice...

3 Day weekends are my favorites! Mr. Lynn came for a visit, and we went to a movie (we saw the Book of Eli--fascinating), we cooked steaks on the grill (yes, the weather in Colorado was great for that) and we watched football playoffs and, in general, we hung out together. I cried when he left on Sunday, the weekend seemed really short.

But, I still had one more day on my weekend, and I am not one to sink into self-pity, so I headed up to Estes. My plan was to do some snowshoeing with Maureen and Nan, but the snow wasn't really good for that. So, we just ended up hiking around. We saw the most amazing sights though:
