Hey, Kristy!! I vote for Colorado too! You said it was OK if it's cold ... here you get the cold and some of the most beautiful country you will ever see! I
did just see a flock of little birds, wearing little turtlenecks, headed South!!
Here are some pics as a small example of the scenery down near Aspen!
This is a snow covered mountain and one of the clearest lakes I believe I have ever seen .... so clear you can't even tell how deep it is! The second picture ... there were a pair of Canadian Geese swimming and the female evidently was curious and swam all the way across to us! The third is a closeup of her ... the water is so clear, you can see huge pawprints on the bottom!! And the fourth picture is the expression on Toto's little face as her eyes never left that female!!! She was fascinated!!
