Vacation Weight?

Staying fit on vacation is very hard. I tried to eat the right foods; fish, veggies, fruit and stay away from fast foods, potato chip, fries, baked goods, breads. Balancing the sweets and starches have been a challenge. Tomorrow is weigh-in day and I am a little worried, I think I did gain some weight even though I was careful. So tomorrow will tell. I will be at home with my own scales.
Had a lot of fun on the GoWestMyFriend trip. Tried new things and did a lot of walking. One thing that is hard is the family hinders me, Hubby can not walk due to his back and legs, Daughter is a teen and for some reason thinks like her father, Not wanting to walk. On the other hand I could Just Walk forever!! Even with my bad leg nerve! Anyway I will have to start back on the exercise routine and eating healthier. How do you weather on vacations?

Now in Colorado, just out side of Denver in the Royal Gorge. We booked a rafting trip with Water Rafting. Boy did we have fun! We did so well that we feel next time we will try a even harder course. No one fell off the boat and we all got plenty wet. The water temp was 50ish so we rented Wetsuits. I have to say I just loved the cold water, it must be my hormones because it felt very nice to me. The trip Down the gorge was 9 Miles, took about 1.5 Hours. The water was the highest it has been in some years. That meant the white water was really swirling.

Ready...Get Set...Go!

Oh Yea it's here, the time had arrived. We are Packing, making final arrangements, checking our list twice , and getting ready to leave on that GoWestMyFriend trip. In case your did not know we are going to Colorado, Nevada, Arizona , California and A Mystery State ( no Lexxie I will not blog it now!). My daughter has been trying her hardest to find out where it is, hehehe. I will not tell anyone. My friend suggested Blindfolding her so she will not even see from the plane. Somehow I think she will hear. So until the day of the flight she will not know, not from Hubby or my lips.

In Colorado we will be Water Water Rafting and other Mountain sports. We are spending The Fourth of July in Cripple Creek. They have a Big Old Fashion Celebration complete with Fireworks, One of the largest in Colorado.
Then off to Las Vegas there we will travel around the world on the strip, and plan to see the BlueManGroup!
Next stop Arizona, we will be viewing the Grand Canyon. Booked with two different Tour companies to see the all the sides. We are staying at Legacies Bed and Breakfast. It is owned by A friend of the family. We are looking forward to seeing them again.
Onward to California to see Disneyland and Universal Studio. Fun and Walking. Looking forward to eying Mickey one of my favorite character. Will be on the look out for Movie Stars. I hope to see Johnny Depp (oh, I just love Pirates of the Caribbean). Now I hear he will be The Mad Hatter on Alice in Wonderland ( as my Daughter says...Sweeet).
We will then cool down in our Mystery Place. No I will not say.

Please continue to drop by and check in. I will be posting some while on vacation.
Please make a stop over at At Home with Auntie E I have more info on that site about the trip.
Do not forget to drop over to Auntie E's Yard and Garden there I will be posting photos of all the gardens and out door wild life we visit there.
See you all from the West side of the Country..Only One Day left then Off We Go.
