B&B Birthday

                       Happy Birthday Kirk!!!


This year he got to spend his birthday at a lovely B&B. However, that's not as great as it sounds because of course he was working at that B&B. As Professional Innsitters we often spend our special occasions working in beautiful inns.
But this year after we were all done with breakfast and guest check-out I gave him a real treat:

 

A birthday trip on the Leadville Colorado Railroad. He loved it!  Just like a very big little boy - he loves trains. This train ride is especially beautiful because it goes way up in the mountains overlooking the continental divide and some of the highest mountain peaks in Colorado.

 As you can see, there was lots of snow and the views were STUNNING! Even though I am not crazy about trains.... I really enjoyed this ride. We had a pic-nic on the train and took lots of photos.

This railroad was originally built in the 1800's but the train itself is from the 1950's so it is quite comfortable with nice seats indoors or out. I loved just sitting and watching the scenery go by.

Good thing because on the way back Kirk rode with this guy....I got him a ticket in the engine with the engineer as a special birthday treat! He got to watch and help as the train chugged back to Leadville. He even got to stand on the very front of the engine as it came into town. Every little boys birthday dream - a TRAIN RIDE!
