I am back from Colorado, along with (finally) my luggage. Brief highlights from the trip:
- Driving down the steep grade of I-70 toward Denver, we come upon a horse trailer holding a reindeer. Anna (SIL) says, "Wouldn't it be funny if Santa were driving?" Then we pull abreast of the vehicle towing the trailer, and Santa actually is driving!
- Getting to see Derek and Anna's new house, meet a few of their friends, and hang out with them and their dog, Chief.
- Sleeping on a heated waterbed.
- Visiting the huge Chick-fil-a by my parents' house, where they were so busy they actually had a person outside directing drive-thru and parking lot traffic.
- Seeing my parents; playing Boggle, Taboo and Pictionary with everyone; staying in a cute, rustic, cozy cabin in Estes Park.
- The look on my dad's face when Derek and I ordered Rocky Mountain oysters for an appetizer at Christmas dinner. (Disgusted expression or not, he still had to sample them.)
- Among the suckage that was my trip back yesterday, highlights were getting a free meal coupon from the airline and getting re-booked to a window seat in first class. Less enjoyable was spending four extra hours in DIA after getting about an hour of sleep the previous night, and arriving in JAX to find that my luggage had not. Fortunately, it is here now.
- Seeing this critter and her pals again:
- Going to pick up this guy in a few minutes:
