Canon City, Colorado has been on our radar for a while. We’d even had a trip there planned and reserved a couple of times before having to cancel. This time we weren’t cancelling, period. Then that darn virus reared it’s ugly head. Would we have to cancel yet again or would Royal View cancel? We…

Reese’s Pieces Cookies

Juicy Hamburgers
