The Carin has landed!

Mom and I made it safely up to Estes this afternoon. The drive up the little winding highway was an adventure since Mom had never driven in the mountains (neither had I) and there wasn't really anywhere to pull over so we could switch. But we made it!!

Within about 10 minutes of getting into our room, the snow started. That's right....I said snow. We're only minutes away from Rocky Mountain National Park and there were some clouds hanging low over the mountains as we pulled in. Then they moved in and decided to dump some snow. Temperatures for the next couple nights are going to be in the low 30s. Complete change from the heat and humidity of Iowa and Nebraska. However, the heater will definetely be in use while we're here.

Mom and I already made stops at The Plum Nelly and Imagiknit in Hastings on the way out, so we're getting ready to play with our new acquistions while we wait for the wool market to start.
