9-10-16 - Heat Escape - Day 30

                                                                 Fruita,Co.

We lazed around on this beautiful morning then left the asphalt queen at home and rode in the truck to Rabbit Valley and hiked the 1.6 mile Trail Through Time.  It is a unique place where they found dinosaur skeletons.   According to the signs, some of the bones are still there.  Most of the time, the bones looked like rocks to us.  Guess we aren't Paleontologist.

                                                                 Colorful

We stopped at Graffs Dairy on the way back home.  I had a banana split and Lauren had a wild berry milkshake.  They were both very pretty and very good.

                                                                    tasty

This morning, Lauren announced he wanting to do something we had never done.  To my shock, he wanted to go wine testing. Chuck took us to a couple of the vineyards this afternoon.  The first place we stopped was Whitewater Hill.  The wine server knew her wines and was very informative.  It was a little bit awkward at first, but it didn't take us long to get into the wine tasting. When we left, the server told Lauren that he was no longer a virgin to wine testing.

We visited Ptarmigan Vineyards for wine tasting then went to the actual vineyards.  They had just finished cleaning up after picking the grapes.  The cooler was filled with bins of grapes.  The grapes were smaller in size than what we expected and were very sticky feeling.  We tasted the actual grapes and there were very sweet and good.

                           

It was another fun filled day, doing things we have never done (looked at dinosaur bones, wine tasting, and visiting a vineyard). We finished up the evening with a good ole shrimp boil, after watching another beautiful Colorado sunset.

Tomorrow is moving day.
