Miles 7182-7595: Newpark Resort, Drive to Vail, Dinosaur National Monument, and Vail

8/1

Sorry I haven’t blogged in almost two weeks; when we were staying in Denver, Kansas City, and Nashville, I was so busy that I didn’t have time to journal or blog. Happy late birthday to Ellie!! I’m sorry I couldn’t do a shoutout on the actual date. That morning, we got up and hung around the hotel a while. I went on a run around the resort and it was completely brutal. We were at such a high altitude and it made such a huge difference. We were going to visit Salt Lake City, but since we hung around the place for longer than we meant to, we just hit the road. On the way, we stopped at Dinosaur National Monument, which was cool, I guess. There were some really huge bones and fossils at Quarry Exhibit Hall. After a quick lunch, we got to our hotel in Vail. We ate dinner at the hotel and I got a traditional German dish, Jägerschnitzel, that was amazing, with noodles, veal, asparagus, and a mushroom sauce.
