Josh's 1st Plane
We got so lucky with our boy. The day we left for CO, our plane had to land just after it took off because of a cabin pressure issue. So technically we were on 2 planes in 1 day, with 2 take-offs. Josh slept during both take-offs and the hour to Denver. I don't have tons to brag about, but this is a good one. On the way home yesterday he slept again. Maybe it was the fact that we had him sleeping on the floor in the hotels and he was exhausted, but we felt very lucky and relaxed that our family was not going to cause anyone else's flight to be a negative experience.
Our hotel was right on 16th street, which is a outdoor mall (closed to traffic) that stretches quite a few blocks. Josh and I spent our days walking up and down looking at postcards in each of the little tourist traps, I mean shops. (postcards are a secret passion of mine... so send me one if you are somewhere cool!)
Josh got all lotioned up every time we went out, since it is the Mile-High city and this little boy is white as white. He is so interactive and engaging when he catches people's eyes that he stopped many people that we passed. He is a charmer just like his dad!
After Dan's meetings were done in Denver, we stayed in Estes Park which is the entrance to this nat'l park. This was a really neat town that sits in the valley at the base of some gorgeous mountains. Main Street is as jammed packed with tourists as the square in Jackson, WY. (just to compare) There were wild animals everywhere.

There are World Trade Towers in Denver. I didn't know that.

Inside the park were roads that went up as high as 12,000+ ft in elevation. There were places that overlooked many beautiful mountains and valleys. We were even higher than the clouds at some points. BUT, we live around some pretty good looking mountains here, so the mnts kinda got redundant. Dan and I felt that we would be in more awe if we had come from the midwest, or any other area without the ranges we see every day. I will say that just flying over the Rockies was really amazing. Pay attention if you ever have the chance to.
Now back to real life, and kindergarten.
