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?”
