Romulo and Mirella hatched a plan two years ago to see the world, and they’re making their dream come true through the kindness of strangers (like us) and a lot of hard work. Romulo and…
This past New Year’s Day we succeeded in finding, and hiking, a great, “new-to-us” trail called Flatirons Vista. After three years living in Boulder, it’s difficult to find new trails to hike that offer something different for everyone, but Flatiron Vista delivered a nice change, and we even managed to get the boys to come…
