A trip to Silverton, Colorado

Today we went to a little town called Silverton, it is the place where my mom's mom lived and grew up. It is a little mining town in the middle of the mountains. It is really pretty up there. There is a train that goes from Durango to Silverton that some people rode, we took the car. The roads are really windy and at times pretty scary. When we first got there, it was raining and it was pretty muddy and cold. First we stopped at grandma's house. Here it is. There was no one there, so we couldn't look inside.Then we just walked around the town. The museum and jail were closed, so we hit a couple of shops. We got some shirts for the boys because it was cold. I'm not going to lie, I was thinking that it wasn't worth the 2 1/2 hour drive, it was cold, wet and really not much to do. Well the day got much better when we say this:So immediately after finding out that it was only $10 for 30 minutes, Terry and I decided that it would be a lot of fun to do. We got with Kody and Tiffany and took our ride around the little town. The boys LOVED it and waved and said hi to everyone that they saw. It was blast, but it was a lot of hard work, especially going up the hills.
Kanyon and Tyce liked it so much that they never got off. We all took turns on the little cars and cruised the town. This definitely made the trip and it was so much fun!
