Week change??

OK--so we may need to shift the week of the trip one to the left. Instead of starting on the 5th of August, is it better to start on the 29th of July? This is so we can return to the Springs on the 12th-13th of August, so Amanda can be in an interim class at UCCS starting the 14th. I need to know if this is an issue with anyone else--I know I will have to see if I can get that first week off. The other option (which I DO NOT PREFER) is to shorten the trip to a week and just do part of the trip. That isn't near as fun!
