Wow…just one more day until April is here.
You know what that means right? Besides the fact that Friday is April Fool’s Day (a great time to prank btw)…OR…that my hubby‘s 30th birthday is next Friday (he’s not looking forward to being this age btw)? You don’t know huh? Well…here’s a hint for ya. 
Yuppers! It’s Autism Awareness Month! Time to help people understand this epidemic who’ve never heard much about it.
You know that I will be posting on this all month long…just little reminders and informational pieces…with links and such. It’s so important that we all be well informed about this disorder. 
Okay…as far as Jason‘s birthday is concerned…I’m sure that you’re all wondering if I have anything special planned. Well of course I do!! What kind of wife do you think I am? I mean…you only turn 30 once!!
I’m taking him here:
The only place in the United States of America where four states meet! Cool huh?!
Jason’s been wanting to visit this location and be in four states at one time…so that’s where we’ll be going. Of course…I have to stop at other locations in the area as well…I mean, it is a road trip after all.
So we’ll also be visiting the following locations:
Mesa Verde National Park – (just outside of Cortez, CO)
Aztec Ruins National Monument - Aztec, NM
Shiprock Pinnacle (off of Hwy 666) NM
Durango, CO
Pagosa Springs, CO
Alamosa, CO
…and a few other cities along the way!! We’re excited about this road trip!
It will be just Jason and I for four days on the road exploring new territory (to us anyway)!!
Don’t worry…we’ll be taking tons of pics of this trip. I promise!
I have to take my car in for an oil change and such this weekend so that we’re ready to go by next Thursday. We’ll leave early in the morning and head southwest to Mesa Verde and won’t be back home until Sunday.
Btw…remind me later to fill you all in on the latest news in home hunting.
Okay…I need to get back to work now. Hopefully I’ll be able to visit you soon.

GORGEOUS – you guys are gonna have a blast!!!
It looks like a great place to go too hope you both have a great time
I can’t wait for summer!
I did one of my college papers on Autism. It is important to know about, I think.
That trip will be amazing! Larry and I also want to go to the Four Corners place. I think it would be so cool to stand in all of those states at once! I can’t wait to see pictures of your road trip, and I think that it will be good for you two to get away just the two of you! Have fun!
Have a great week! God bless.
Hey you…long time no see..hope you guys have a great time!!
Oh that’ll be cool.
Even despite the scary mtn highways.
I just need to be on valium next time.
Sounds great! I need to come up with something special for my hub’s b-day this year. It will be his 50th, and he hates parties… so….
ok, how cool is that?! Very nice Maria!! With your and Jason’s adventurous spirits look into this: http://www.letterboxing.org This is one of Dave’s a my favorite couply things to do. You get to explore new places, meet new people (kinda), and keep a record of where you’ve been together!
I certainly hope that you two have a wonderful time! I can just see you hop-scotching around those four states…lol All the other points of interest look very interesting/beautiful. Do share your pictures! btw, I thought I was going to have to hang a funeral wreath on my hubby’s nose the day he turned the big 30! He hated it!
I am so looking forward to our trip, if not the occasion for it
I love you! 
Although I am from here, I forget how… Beautiful this place can be.
But I also cannot believe there is an actual route 666 in CO.
