pictures Day 3 Engelwood CO 8-9-08




I am reposting this blog, because I finally have the pictures done to go with it! I hope you enjoy.


This morning started a little too early for all of us! The alarm went off at 10:15! Yucky! I got up to take my shower & noticed that Matt was still asleep-he who wanted to get up at 10 to go work out & go for a swim! J We were on our way by about 12:45. Today’s meal of a "place we don’t have at home", was Sonic. We were finally on the road by about 1:30. Our ETA for Engelwood, CO (which is just outside of Denver) is about 6:30. Yeah! Short drive, about 265 miles! Piece of cake! This drive has been pretty, following along the Colorado River. (It’s day, so we can actually see something!) It was beautiful to see God’s handiwork. We all enjoyed the scenery, except for Maddie. She slept for about 3 hours-the whole time we were going through the mountains! Good for her. She also missed seeing some snow.
We have had quite the range in temperatures today too, from low 50’s to the low 90’s. We also had a pretty good rain shower on the way. Maybe cleaned the car a little.
We made it to Engelwood, CO (just outside of Denver) about 6:30 tonight. After getting unpacked, going out to dinner at Macaroni Grill (& being serenaded by Tammy, this woman with a magnificent voice, for my birthday) we came back to the hotel & went swimming. Maddie is a water bug. She will have to have swim lessons next year. She loved it.
It is after 11 & time to get ready for bed. We have a long drive tomorrow & then we will be in Diller! I can’t wait. We are all getting so excited!
