Where did summer go? |

It’s already mid-August and our summer family road trip is officially over. I don’t even want to know what is waiting for us back in Arkansas. A lot of dead plants.

As we packed up to leave Salida, CO this morning Caleb and I started the “where did summer go?” conversation. According to him we lose an hour of daylight in August.

We make a Colorado summer trip every year with various stops on the way to our final destination, Salida. This town is where big mountains, desert vibes and river fun all intersect.

There is a lot to do in such a small town. Biking, running, surfing, rafting, shopping, dining + community events to name a few.

We have the best local guides and spend our time here like one.

Where we stayed

This year we stayed in an airbnb loft style home that inspired me with its attainable interior design and zen qualities. I read a couple of the host’s books that were displayed on the shelves and really enjoyed the stay here.

This book was a good concept for me to come across. As someone who finds life to be mostly mundane and depressing the idea that some enlightened and spiritual paths are “laundry” was incredibly comforting.
