The Zereps

Haven’t had time to blog in a while, so I’m staying up late tonight to write a little bit about our recent adventures. As you know Shannon, Marc, and baby Eve are over here visiting us. They’ve been here since last week, but I had to work, and didn’t get to do that much stuff with them, so I took last Friday off so that we could all go some place together. And that some place was the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado (about a 45 min. from our house.)

The hotel is most famous as being the inspiration for Stephen King’s “Overlook Hotel” in the book/movie/mini-series The Shining. The hotel itself has a very fascinating history. It was built by the brothers who are famous for building the Stanley Steamer cars. But what I didn’t know was that these were also the guys that basically invented the process/technology for rolled film for camera; they later sold their patent to Eastman-Kodak, and made about $10 million (in turn-of-the-century dollars) by the time they were done with that venture.

Tons of pictures available in the gallery, or by clicking the image below:

More pictures of our other adventures coming soon… (there’s just too much to publish in one night.)
