Last week I attended a conference for our new Event Management System (EMS) Software in Denver, CO. We left a couple days before the sessions started to see some of the sites in the area. The conference was very helpful and the sessions each gave me new information on the software. I made many new connections and look forward to using my skills in the upcoming year.
We flew in Saturday around 3 pm and headed to Estes Park which is a town at the bottom of the Rockies, it was gorgeous. We then drove to the top of the Rocky Mountains, I took many photos. It was freezing at the top of the mountain and hard to breath, we saw Elk on the way up and on the way down. It was a beautiful experience.

Colorado has some of the most beautiful countryside. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to experience it although nothing compares to being at home.
