Colorado Rocky Mountain High

We are here in Colorado at our first destination!! The drive across America was uneventful except for a few narrow roads due to construction and passing a few 18 wheelers at 70mph. But we made it in one piece! The "heartland of America" is beautiful with it's rolling hills, flat plains and corn fields as far as the eye can see. We arrived in the Mile High City (Denver) last night. The weather is considerable cooler from what we have had the past few days. As I write this I am in a fleece shirt and long pants! A nice relief from the 100 degree weather we left behind! We parked the RV in the driveway of Jon's house. (We go back to the 4th grade!) Jon, his wife Elaine and their daughter Hallie bought one of my puppy's last month, so it was extra special to re-unite with "Aurora" who is now 13 weeks old. I believe she remembered me too! They live in a beautiful house and all the neighbors were out in the street enjoying each others company for the evening. Jon, Guy and I headed out for a steak dinner which was by far the BEST steak I have ever had....yummy!! I had a couple of drinks with dinner and I am not sure if the drinks were just too strong, or because of the high altitude.....but I was in a "happy place". We all had a great time, but I have to say, I am not feeling the best this morning. sigh.....
Today we are heading out to play some golf in the mountains while we have the RV fixed. I must of brushed it against some tree limbs and damaged one of the awnings......a minor repair is needed (I hope) We are having bluebird skies and a crisp feel in the air, perfect day for golf! Then we may head over the ski resorts. Plan to hike part of the Continental Divide, and do some shopping in the town of Breckenridge. I was here 17 years ago on my honeymoon, so it will be interesting to see how the town has changed. I promise to post more pictures as today will be the perfect day for photos! Cheers!!
