What's an Ikea and why is it on a travel blog?

Normally, I would write and tell you about a vacation spot we visited.  This week it was not a vacation destination, though it could be.  This week it was not a resort, though I could hide in there and be pretty comfy.  This week it was not a museum, though yeah it was a museum.  It was a stop at Ikea in Denver Colorado. 

A Leap of Faith

We are just home from a weekend in Thermopolis Wyoming for my 42nd Birthday.  Thermopolis is a little town with about 3,000 people at a windy Wyoming elevation of about 4300 ft.  It packs a lot of fun for such a small community so we just love going whether it is a quick weekend get-a-way or for a stop on our way to Yellowstone National Park or Cody Wyoming.    (http://thermopolis.com/)

Since I am the "PERFECT" age for a mid-life crisis I thought I'd share my little story.  I am also sharing a photo that is not a favorite because I am in a bathing suit but it is my proof this happend  -- YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
