play/ground (with tree)
If this centrifugal force death machine somehow fails at its job, there are about a million stickers in the grass and they are ready to take over.
Playgrounds! So much fun! So much danger!!

In case you find yourself in La Veta on a Tuesday night, you should know that the country club is going to be the only place for dinner. You should also know that it’s worth the 4 minute drive from town.
And I can also verify the fact that if you want to walk around downtown after that delicious dinner not only will you have made TWO good choices, but you can also see this delightful spot, right on the corner of Main Street and Ryus Avenue.

What can I say? If I’d been able to place the light exactly where I wanted it to be, it would be have been this arrangement.

We planned an entire trip (eight nights on the road) that was built around someone telling us that there was a great little restaurant in Burlington, Colorado. We’re up for a trip and thought we could drive up one day, eat dinner that night, and come home the next.
Only…then we added Oklahoma City because I had to be there anyway. Then we tacked on a few nights in Santa Fe for reasons that mostly dealt with another place to eat and added some other nights in places and before you knew it, we’d turned it into The Most Random Trip Ever (with food)™.
Really, why do anything the normal way when you can make it complicated?

PS: Burlington has about 3,000 residents; one of them is the fancy chef over at the Dish Room who’ll make you a delicious dinner.

If you drive into town from the south, you’ll see this place high on a hill way before you see the town. And then, if you’re like us, you’ll spend kind of a long time trying to figure out how to get there. (Hint: not the way you think.)
And once you get there, you can see this chapel and also enjoy a magnificent view of the San Luis valley.
