My husband and I are planning a trip to Estes Park CO. We will fly to Denver first and then He would like to rent a RV and camp the first day in a semi-primitive campground, and then want us to travel to other areas of CO. We have 2 young children, 1 and 3 year old, and I am not so sure I want to do the RV. Safety and space are a concern to me. I feel that the children are too young, plus I read that not so many RV parks welcome children.
My husband is very insistent on the RV trip, he feels this would be a great adventure, but I just don't want to try a new adventure with very young children. If the children were older, I would be more at ease and I would say let's do it!
Also, once we arrive at Denver, we need to head to Walmart and purchase bed sheets, pots and pans, silverware, pillows, food, etc. I just don't feel like going through that hassle. I think that a Cabin will work better for us. Let me know what how was your experience traveling with young children in a RV,
Would you recommend traveling or camping in a RV with young children?
Thank you

I'm going to assume by RV you're talking about a motor-home. With children the ages of yours it's a very bad idea. The kids have to be belted in the entire time they are in the RV..how does he pan to do that for hours on end?
I suggest you fly where ever you plan to go, rent a CAR and make reservations at RV parks along the way. You can rent a travel trailer big enough to sleep all of you plus give the kids a place to run around in. They are set up on permanent sites with bedrooms bathrooms, kitchen, Living room TV etc. And lets not forget it doesn't have to be sunny everyday, does he really want to be in an RV where these kids have no place to go and nothing to do?
And contrary to what you think all kids are welcome in RV parks..they usually have playgrounds and activities for kids planned almost everyday.
His idea is great for only a couple, or traveling with older kids..but at their ages..no no.
Plan where you want to go get out a map or go on line and check out RV parks with trailer rentals..you will ALL have a better time.
Good Luck!

Is Denver a good city to start in?

My friend and i are planning on moving to Denver later this year. This will be my first time ever leaving my parents house and getting my own place. My friend is really set on moving to denver, because it's so close to here family. But me, I'm not too excited to be moving there. I'm only going so i'll have a room mate. I really want to move to Portland. I've been to portland a few times and i really like the vibe there. I don't want to waste money on car payments and i know portland has fairly good public transportation. I just don't think i would be able to live on my own for the first time if i did decide to move to portland. If anyone has moved to portland and lives in portland, what's it like? I want to be close to downtown so i can walk to most places. And i've found a few apts that i like, but i heard the affordable housing ones have a wait list. Anyone ever have to go through that? How long does it take to get one of those apts? Also, how is it meeting new people there? If i do decide to go, I'll obviously not know anyone. Any other info about portland will be appreciated! Thanks!

Based on what you're looking for I'd actually recommend moving to Boulder, CO. It's a midsize city located about 25 miles northwest of Denver, so your roommate should still be reasonably close to her family and it's not too far of a drive to get to things like sporting events, concerts, amusement parks and the things you only find in a big city.
Boulder is home to a major university, so it's going to be a great place to meet people around your age. Also, because of the large young population it is a very lively town. The vibe there is great, too. Whether you're into bars, local cafe's and coffee shops, art galleries, independent music and record stores etc. you'll find it.
It isn't really necessary to own a car there either. It is a very liberal, environmentalist city, and with that comes a HUGE emphasis on public transport and cycling/walking. There's extensive bus lines and hundreds of miles of bike paths. As long as you have a bike and a bus pass you can get around Boulder without a problem. You can catch a bus to Denver, and and there is a plan to connect the cities by commuter train into Denver's Light Rail system.
There is an affordable housing program, but I don't think the rental prices are too bad anyway. A 2 bedroom apartment costs around $1000 a month, which is just above the national average of $928.
In different studies Boulder has been ranked the #1 city to live in America, the skinniest city in America, the #1 happiest city, #1 for health and well being, the 8th best city for artists, the #1 city for foodies, America's 'brainiest' city, and the #4 most bicycle friendly city in the world, among others.
Not being a major city, it's easy to overlook, but from what both of you want it sounds like Boulder might be a very good fit. I'd certainly research it a bit, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to travel there before moving just to see what it's like.
Have you been to Denver? I must say that I like living here, although I'd probably like to move to Boulder to settle down. I think either city is a very good place to live. Of the American cities I've been to, in my opinion the top 5 to live in (in no particular order) would be Boulder, Denver, San Francisco, Seattle and Portland. .
