The Ultimate Sandbox

The weekend after Frederick and I came back from our European honeymoon, we decided to go CAMPING!! Of course, I choose something further away from home (Boulder, CO) and 4.5 hours later we were at the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.

Colorado never fails to surprise me… like how do we get giant sand dunes near the mountains? Disappeared body of water that left huge piles of sand?? Different wind patterns? I’m not a geologist so I had to look it up! Pretty interesting explanation of their formation.  Anyway I will stop my rambling…

We stopped at Piñon Flats Campground which has an amazing view of the dunes.  The sites are pretty amazing too– large enough to put a couple of tens and each has a fire pit.  NIGHTS are so cold! Brrrr

TIP: Get to the campground early (preferably before 10) as it gets full by lunch time.

Today was Ride Your Bike to Work Day. It was fun. I was off work today, but still was able to ride my bike all day long until my feet fell off. The day started by waking up early and riding with my boyfriend to his work. We stopped at OZO coffee place and I was surprised by how nice the free breakfast was (for all the bike riders). They had quite the spread- yummy breads (I almost wrote “sweet breads”, but have recently learned that sweetbreads are the nasty bits of the animal… not your typical breakfast… haha), regular and gluten-free bakery, breakfast burritos, and delicious OZO house blend coffee. After breakfast we split our ways, and I started my adventure!
