Been a while and a lot of miles since I have been on the blog but so much has happened I feel the need to update my loyal followers. First Nancy and I went to Denver to spend 10 days with Andrew and family. They had a wedding to attend in Vegas, so we went to babysit the three girls for three days. All went well but glad when Dad and Mom got back. After our stint of babysitting, we became tourist for a couple of days. One day we went to Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park, what a fun day, snow in the mountains, elk everywhere and wonderful scenery. The color seemed to be more brilliant than New England, but not the multi colors, mainly yellow and a bit of orange. On the way home that day, a little ole lady in the info booth told us a nice way to get back, well I guess on a clear day it would have been fine but it was through the mountains and it snowed almost all the way back to Denver. It is not fun on narrow, twisting mountain road in a snowstorm, but we made it and lived to tour another day. Next morning we were back at it, heading for Colorado Springs to visit the Gardens of the Gods, a must see if you are in that area. Wonderful rock formations and its FREE, owed by the city of Colo Springs. Spent most of the day there just looking and taking our time. We did stop at the Air Force Academy on the way home. It is worth the stop to see the Chapel, a very modern building, and wonderful inside with an awesome pipe organ like I have never seen before, Nancy said it looks something like one she had seen in Iceland.The day before we left I went with Andrew and had my putter fitted, I know a fitted putter, Andrew had got them at a tournament and the manufacture is in Denver( yes Golf) and part of the deal was you could go to the factory and have it fitted, so we did. That afternoon I played golf with a friend of Andrew's, tried the new putter, think I need to go back to the factory and be refitted. I think it was the greens not me. After golf Jay and I went to the hotel to meet Andrew but he was in the middle of a Press Party for his hotel receiving a "5 Diamond" rating from AAA, the only hotel in Denver to receive this honor. So we ate dinner in the Elays Restaurant at the hotel, great steak.
We left on Friday and brought Britt and Anna back with us for a visit, they just got back tonight from three days at Disney with their Grandmother, Hannah and Addie, looked like five tired people when they walked in tonight. No I did not go, I stayed home and babysat the twins for two days, not sure who is really more tired. I guess tomorrow is a get rested day, and Thursday they go home. What a three weeks this has been, sorry no pics, all on the other computer and I'm to lazy to import them. Some of the trip are on Facebook, for those of you who follow me there. Looking forward to a period of quiet. May get back to some more history....
