This morning we filled ourselves with Mike’s muffins and bid farewell to the Greeley friends. It was a quick trip toward Denver,… …then up the front range and onto our long-time friend, the Colorado Plateau. For those who don’t share our amateur obsession with geology, the Plateau covers western Colorado, northeast New Mexico, northwest Arizona, […]
Mike made scones for breakfast! I think I like this BnB! We lingered over breakfast (and another cup of tea/coffee). Actually we were waiting for the temperature outside to warm up a bit before venturing out. But out we eventually did – venture. The Petersen’s wanted to show us a bit of the public art
Before we even got into the exhibit proper, we were presented with a display of pottery from various southwest tribes. Here are a few examples: Not all the items in the exhibit were from southwest tribes. Actually a major section of the exhibit was devoted to introducing us to the inhabitants of each region of
We were up at 4:15, cleaned up, packed up, and were on the road shortly after 5:00 heading for the Denver airport. We dropped K and S, grabbed some breakfast, and headed downtown to the Museum of Nature and Science. We arrived there at 8:00 and napped in the parking lot until they opened at
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.

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
Today was the traditional “get ready to be gone” day. Cheryl cleaned the bathrooms and the kitchen floor Randy mowed up the leaves (which Cheryl spread around the rose bushes so their feet will be nice and warm this winter) and vacuumed. Cheryl, as is her habit, had finished packing several days ago so she
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,
