REDEMPTION

We walked into the room and I held my breath waiting for the onslaught of whining.  Luckily, the kids were too caught up in the initial surprise of actually staying inside a National Park and in exploring the room to notice the lack of television right away.  By the time the TV issue arose they’d found the balcony overlooking the glorious hundred mile view of Mesa Verde (translation – Green Table) and the point was gratifyingly moot.

And the air conditioning? At 8,000 feet we were just grateful there was a heater!

We spent our first evening playing a cutthroat game of UNO, and our second watching a vicious lightning storm followed by an incredible double rainbow glowing in the rain-washed sunset.

Television.  We don’t need no stinkin’ television.
