My favorite place to visit in the summer and winter is Colorado, followed Monterrey, although lots of places are stunningly beautiful and filled with fun adventure. The view during the ride between Denver and Vail is one my husband and I plan on sharing with our 12 year old daughter, for the first time, this summer. Also, I love reading about the daily lives, especially the routine and simple experiences of people during the entire 18 and early 1900s.
