the minnesota rendezvous

i had to go back to minnesota for a doc appointment. i drove back to denver with jons vw jetta and cocoa, a kitty. here are some photos from the rendezvous on the road and with my family. we stopped to visit both grandparents, then in iowa to visit a family that were with our group in china, then i headed out and was on my way with only me, cocoa, and the long flat road ahead. the family came the rest of the way later on and we met up here. we went to pikes peak and drove around in the mountains. very beautiful with all the aspins changing into their fall wardrobes.
