Steve surprised me with a trip on the Royal Gorge Route for the celebration of our 24th Wedding Anniversary. We started out the day eating breakfast out at Mimi's with my favorite French Toast Brioche. Steve did a great job planning this special day. When we reached Canyon City, I kind of figured we might be going to the Royal Gorge. I didn't know it was still closed because of the Fires in July. It was sad seeing so much of the burned forest.
We then got to ride in the Vista Dome of the train with a great view of the Arkansas River.
Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling up to par and about half way through the train ride, I got sick to my stomach, but fortunately had come prepared for possible motion sickness. As it turns out I don't think I actually had motion sickness but an actual stomach bug of some kind. Which unfortunately spoiled our dinner on the train and our dinner plans later. But as usual my Steve was a really trooper and was just mostly concerned about me.
There were some great rapids and we saw a loft of rafters coming down the river. Definitely on my bucket list!!
