I know I have to always "cover it up" when my husband asks where I am going. I use to be able to say with a straight face oh I am just staying in the Midwest. He is never going to buy it when he finds out Ft Collins and then Beaumont. Maybe some where in the US will work- Until he sees the credit card charges. --------------------------------------------------------------- Sally guess it just us being from the midwest...to me Colorado is west...I drawn the line on midwest with Kansas/missouri border.......and Beaumont is southwest...but heck these are all new places to visit. We really loved the nationals when they were in Houston..even went and visited the coast... And Ft. Collins we are going out early and taking a mini vacation I have family in Arvada. One of my favorite books was Centennial so looking forward to it..havent been there is years. Anyone going to CO for the first time if you have time Colorado Springs is a great place to see with Pikes Peak. Maybe our Colorado members could give a list of places to see when were at the national. And the same from the Beaumont members and the Salt Lake members of places to see.
