When I was younger Aunt Karen had a condo near my parents. I loved to go
visit her. I am pretty sure that I bugged my parents every day to go
visit. I wanted to swim, swim, swim and eat yummy snacks at Aunt Karen's
house! I remember swimming until we crashed. Then we would head over
to her house and chill. She was always so generous and let us have as
many snacks as we wanted.
I also have this great memory of driving to Denver, Colorado with her
and my father. She was moving there for a job. It was such a great trip.
She took time to do some fun touristy stuff with us. We went to a fun
place for dinner called Casa Bonita. They had sky divers jumping during
dinner. We also had a old fashioned type Western Picture place. We had
our pictures taken. Karen did her usual and made a funny face. Karen
took the time to play all the arcade games with me. We also visited the
Coor's Brewery. It was a really neat tour. At the end was taste testing
and Karen harassed me about being too young. I was sipping Coke while my
dad and her tasted the other drinks. (Okay, Karen probably had a sip of
Coke too!) On that trip we also went and got a yummy steak dinner. It
was a neat place that would cut off anyone who wore a fancy tie to
dinner. It also had a giant yellow slide in the building. Karen, of
course, always willing to have fun went down it several times with me.
I also remember a great trip to Yellowstone that Karen took with my
Family. She was suppose to sleep with me and I was such a sleep kicker
she ended up on the floor. Poor Karen. Karen made that trip so fun. She
had driven her own car and I remember all of the kids wanted to ride
with her. I remember when I got her all to myself, she was showing me
how cruise control worked. I was young and she let me push the button
that speed up the car and I was thrilled! Plus I was in the car with the
coolest Aunt, I was in kid heaven!
