October 2002 Vacation pictures

Aspen, CO
John Denver week


Kay and I (Lance) drove to Aspen, Colorado on Tuesday October 8th, and got home on Wednesday October 16th 2002.
We had my sister Cathy watch our kids at home during the week, and had Kay's parents take the kids to Madras for the weekend.

The main event we went for was John Denver Week. Five years after he past away.




We exchanged 2 weeks of our World Mark time share through RCI.    We stayed at The Prospector in Aspen.
Here are some outside pictures
