Little Cabin in the Woods {YMCA of the Rockies}

Sometimes you pick a vacation destination.
Sometimes it chooses you.

 

Our “Y” story began with a very ordinary email conversation. One February night, a friend and I were comparing summer activity options for our children. The email exchange went something like this:

That sounds like a fun camp, but we’ll be in Colorado that week.

Me: Where are you going in Colorado? We’re thinking about going this summer too.

The YMCA of the Rockies.

Me: I’ve heard such great things about the YMCA. We even tried to rent a cabin once, but everything was booked.

We are actually donors of a cabin. I’m working on summer reservations now. We’d love for you to rent our cabin, but I need to know in the next 2 days.

Me: Is the fishing any good? If Husband can fly fish, we’re in.

I closed my laptop and rolled over to Husband who was already half asleep in bed beside me. “Honey? Wanna go to the YMCA of the Rockies this summer?”

I’m sharing our “Y” story adventures at the YMCA of the Rockies blog today. Come join me and hear the rest of the story. . .

    I love your story, and I know y’all love this special place. All stories have beginnings…..right?

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
