We left Vail this morning and headed down to Denver and then on across eastern Colorado and western Kansas. Yes, it's time to go home again. Happens after every vacation!
As Ken drove around curves and through tunnels, I was able to sit back and give my full attention to the mountains that surrounded us. I started thinking about adjectives to describe the Rockies. Ah, said I to myself--what a good writing exercise this might be.
I made a list of adjectives to describe the scenery. Mountains can be:
awesome
majestic
magnificent
spectacular
amazing
snow-striped (a bit far-fetched, but it's true as there were still stripes of snow)
verdant
Can you add some more? Let me know in your comments.
Now, you can make your own list for other types of places we visit on vacation.
Make a list of adjectives for the following spots:
ocean
island
forest
desert
Happy Fourth of July week-end!
