Sheraton Colorado Springs Hotel

... Skippy to Annie's house. Flynn was at wrestling practice, so we gave Annie all the "care and feeding" instructions. I hope we didn't overwhelm her with TMI. Spent a restful night at the motel; really needed it -- we were exhausted. I hope we can sleep as well on the long flight!

Today Frank stayed home to make us his famous pork chili. Takes hours of love and we were all grateful. Antonio went for another long marathon training run. Chuck, Hector & Diana went foraging for Jack In The Box, an Apple store and a double feature ;) "Couples Retreat" & "Whip It" both good and more importantly cheap. Only $6.50 and you know we did the 2 fer 1 cause we're geto(boys) like that. Made it back to home base in time to see Dollhouse and feast on dinner. Great day for all.

... yesterday an 'Emergency Half-Day' was declared so everyone could go home and tune up their gear for the first turns of the season. Call in sick, take a personal day, or just play hooky - but whatever you do just get up to Loveland and revel in the fact that Winter has officially arrived!<br>

... thru Aspen Park, a few more towns that I fell asleep thru, Morrison, and eventually back to Bern's house. The next time I come to Colorado, I will definitely be spending a few nights in the Pike's Peak area, as well as more time downtown. <br><br>Tomorrow is Boulder, lots of fun things planned. Saturday, with the exception of the Coors brewery tour, is pretty open. Then Sunday I return home. It will be bittersweet. Goodnight!

... fun. In the evening Julia got a fever and in the night it got worse with throwing up and hallucinations. Ted went with her to the hospital (in case of the schwine flu, we didn't take the risk) She was dehydrated and she had a form of altitude sickness. She was fine a day later and she loved her hospital bracelet, which stayed on her arm for 3 weeks. <br>On the 28th of July my parents came to Denver. We picked them up in the evening ...

... Colorado on the way to Utah. We had to drive through Denver and the Rockies were awesome. There were super tall and... rocky. I slept a bunch today :) and Mom had to reach over and smack me to wake up and take a picture or look at some cool rock. :) The snow was awesome though! After we got through Denver it was just regular highway for awhile until we got into Utah. There were ...

... saying "mom there is an extra sock in the dryer." Which would explain how I keep getting those crazy single multicolored socks in mine. Enough rambling for today. Oh; I did have a poem for our night in that infamous Elmcourt Motel if you've been following our stories: Les and Moore had a terrible fight. Shots were heard late one night. Les shot Moore. Moore shot Les. No Moore ... no Les Goodnight Gracie Daniel

Lundi le 24 Septembre, on quitte Ogallala, Nebraska en direction du Colorado. En l'espace d'une demi-heure de route seulement, le décor change complètement ; des immenses champs de maïs, on passe à des espaces désertiques et un terrain montagneux. Le Colorado nous accueille et on commence à voir rouler dans les champs, les fameux rouleaux d'herbe que l'on voyait dans les films de cowboy. Notre première destination est un camping ...

... things that I had never really thought about, but will effect me more than I know. However, with knowing all of this, I still frequently think to myself "YIPPY, I'm going on a trip around the world!" I still remember getting the idea, and at the time I think there was a small part of me that didn't really believe I would do it. But now it is becoming so REAL. This will be the ultimate journey and today I am ready to GO!
