Country Roads Take Me Home!

In a few short a days I begin my annual trip back to Southern Colorado, where I was born and raised. I don't like being away from my sweet hubby and while I love the east coast, and the D.C. area, life here is a bit hectic and I always look forward to my time at home where things move a little slower. Well, actually things move tremendously slower. But, it is this slow pace that makes me so excited to return each year. Let me show you some of the differences between my home town and Washington D.C. I think you will understand why I still love going "home" so much!

Above traffic in Washington D.C. Below traffic in Sanford, Colorado.

In Colorado we have mountains. Beautiful, amazing mountains.

In Washington D.C. there aren't any mountains, but we do have Capitol Hill. Beautiful, but not quite as impressive.

Although my husband would strongly disagree, in my opinion the San Luis Valley has the best Mexican Food in the world.

In Washington D.C. Mexican Food is lacking but we do have a lot of Kabob Houses.

In Washington D.C. we have the White House.

But, in Colorado we have an OUT HOUSE at my grandparent's cabin. Thanks mom for posing in the window!

In Washington D.C. we have a public transit train called the Metro. You may have heard, it sometimes crashes.

In Colorado we have the Cumbres and Toltec Railroad.

Below is what shopping in Washington D.C. looks like--I think they should change the store name to Temptation's instead.

But, in Colorado about 30 minutes from my hometown is a Wal-Mart. Sorry, but I love Wal-Mart. And I miss it terribly.

In Washington D.C. we have this guy!

But in Colorado we have these guys (my grandpa's) and many more people I love and cherish. Can't wait to see everyone!
