Play Me Some Mountain Music

It's hard to believe, but summertime is just around the corner.  And in my family, summertime means family reunion time!  This year we are going to Lake Shore Lodge in Estes Park, Colorado -- the perfect place for my huge family.  The lodge is on the shores of Lake Estes, surrounded by gorgeous panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains.  There's plenty of room for the kids to run around, and decks for adults to sit and talk while keeping an eye on the little ones.  The award-winning Silverado Restaurant on-site offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, along with a breathtaking view, which is perfect for a hungry bunch like us.  We booked our rooms on hotelbook.com, so now it's time to start dusting off the rustic travel gear.
