Its not quite labor day nor the equinox but it certainly feels like the end of summer. Last week my son Andy came to visit for a week and we went camping with Meghan at the Willow Creek Reservoir near Boulder.

On Monday Andy and I rented a motorcycle and rode up Mt. Evans the "Highest Paved Road in North America" at 14,240 feet.

Its been a great summer. Now its time to get back to work.

My parents came out to visit a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure exactly what we would do or if we would find enough interesting things to do.

I shouldn't have worried though. We had a great time. We did a lot of stuff like Garden of the Gods, Air force academy, Olympic training center, Pikes Peak, some easy jeep trails, Denver downtown mall, etc. Plus I got to hang out with them and I got to go motorcycling with my dad. I had never had that chance before.

We rode all around the area and even went up to Monarch Pass. Though the weather was nice for our ride we had just gotten a storm a few days before and in one of the pictures you can barely see the visitors center under the snow.

It was a great visit and I don't think it could have gone any better.
