Had to take some time off, so we turned moving dad from Colorado to Phoenix, Arizona into a mini-vacation.
We started off from home in Blaine, WA, stopped off in Denver to see family and friends, went from Denver to Nathrop, Colorado to pack up dad's household goods, then off to Phoenix to unload and and set things in place.
While we were on our journey we made a mini-vacation out of the trip. We toured around Salida, Colorado, Buena Vista, Colorado and made a stop in Aspen, Colorado. The fall colors and scenery were fabulous!
While we were in Phoenix, Arizona we found, rather we were told about some of the best Mexican Food. And it was the best Mexican food that we have ever had.
The name of the Mexican food restaurant is Rito's, located at 907 14th and Virginia, phone number is 602.262.9842. It only has take out and closes at 3:00pm...but the food is the best.
Try the beef burrito with green chili sauce!
I am attaching a YouTube link of Aspen, Colorado in the fall. Hope you enjoy!

Buena Vista is a hot air balloonists dream. Every 3 or 4 months we load up and drive to the BV valley. There are only 2 valleys in the western US that have these perfect wind conditions. The BV valley in CO, and the Driggs valley in Idaho. We will be there over new years flying again. Lots of ballooning in BV photos on my website - balloon team page. www.umrt.com
You found the heart of Colorado
Sounds like you had a great vacation. I enjoy Colorado, but not this time of the year.
