Day 8 - Westminster, CO to Westminster, CO - 137 miles

Our halfway point was today and we were lucky enough to spend it with family - my cousin, Michele, her husband (and today's chauffeur), Steve, and my goddaughter, Samantha.

We visited Samantha in her new home and enjoyed the view from her second floor deck.  I love Colorado!

On our way back to the hotel we got to experience a Colorado hail storm.  I'm glad it wasn't my car. 😕

Delicious dinner at Macaroni Grill where we were joined by Samantha's boyfriend, Anvay.  It was so nice to have some time to get to know him better.  After hugging goodbye, we went back to the hotel to get ready to continue our road trip tomorrow.
