While they were here, we drove out the Unaweep Canyon to the tiny, blip of a town, Gateway.
Gateway is interesting for several reasons.

The area is so beautiful that it caught the eye of John Hendricks, the founder of the Discovery Channel.
He bought land and built a pretty nice resort out there. He's also in the process of building a car museum. The jewel of his collection is a 1954 Olds concept car which Hendricks bought for a measly $3 million.
The resort is all south-westerny with a nice restaurant and hotel. As we were walking around, we noticed a giant kaleidoscope in a courtyard.
I took this picture which included my dad's fingers:
On St. Patrick's Day we donned our green (OK I was wearing a shamrock sticker on my regularly scheduled black duds) and headed over to the botanical gardens, where I took these photos:

Let's hope so ... I'm boring myself to death.
