Ginger and Karen visited Colorado to see Ginger's sister Shelly, who now lives in Denver. Ginger's cousin Kathy from Chicago joined us. Ginger, Karen and Kathy spent four days touring the mountains and riding on the famous Durango-Silverton Train.

We arrived Saturday afternoon and Shelly drove us to her house for dinner.
