This morning we were up early (but not as early as Spencer). Following first breakfast of pumpkin spice muffins we played for a bit and then headed our to Einstein’s bagels for second breakfast. Thus fortified we dropped Kim at the conference and headed out to one of the local parks. We were there for […]
We were up and on the road early this morning, not because we were in such a lather to get to Colorado Springs, but because we needed to get to the Denver airport in time to meet Kim and Spencer’s 2:07 plane. Along the way we crossed the great divide basin (and therefore the Continental
We headed out this morning. After gas, coffee, and a stop by the library (to return some books) we were on the road by 9-ish. Not bad since we had no particular goal in mind. The first part of the trip is familiar – hit the freeway and head east. However, the normal route takes

Cheryl read thru the blog this morning and mentioned that I had never posted the last entry. Oops. I blame blood pressure – as in I needed to get mine under control before posting this. The day started at 5:45 (4 hours and 15 minutes after arriving at our hotel room in Vancouver). We were
It’s 9:10 (Toronto time). We’re sitting in the Toronto airport waiting to board our flight to Vancouver. That should tell you something of how our day has gone. It started well enough – breakfast and good by’s with friends from the tour, then back to the room to post pictures from day 10 and 11,
Today we headed down the coast from Halifax, stopping first in Peggy’s Cove and then on to Lunenburg. Peggy’s cove is an iconic fishing village with quaint houses, small harbor, the most frequently photographed lighthouse in Canada, and about 50 tour busses a day (whenever cruise ships are in Halifax – there were three ships
