home again, home again, jiggity jig

Well, the journey to Denver was fun and full of activity. Of course the cold that TBW had New Year's and I got the week later, fell upon D2 hard Friday night. I'll talk more about that later.

Thursday night, we flew into Denver and J met us at the airport. We went to her apartment that she shares with 3 other girls and got settled in. It is perfect for them, they all have their own bedroom and only two have to share a bath. We got ready and Mr. Perfect came over to drive us to dinner. We went to an Italian place and met his parents there. It was a great evening and we enjoyed getting to know all of them. I must say they make a cute couple and they seem to even each other out.

Friday we slept in and headed to downtown Denver to do some shopping. D2 had money to burn, and she did! It was a fun time. We came back so J could get ready to cheer. Her beauty maintenance is very hefty - but it shows in the final product. I guess I could take a lesson or two... She dropped us off at a sports bar place so we could eat and wait until the game began. She was able to get us three tickets - good thing because we checked and the cheapest was about $120. The game was a lot of fun. We enjoyed seeing her cheer. D2 started going down hill fast with the cold, so we met a few of the other cheerleaders and then headed back home.

Saturday, D2 was crying because it hurt to breathe. The cold, along with flying, the new altitude, was really kicking her. She was miserable. So off to urgent care we went. This put our departure time for the mountain later than we wanted. But, what could we do? We got her prescriptions filled and we were off. Mr. Perfect drove us. The drive was beautiful. You drive through this tunnel and then on the other side it was all snowy white. We checked into our hotel and D2 went right to bed. The four of us went to dinner and had a great time. We stopped at the grocery and picked up some chicken and rice soup for D2 and some beer for Mr. Perfect and myself. We stayed up late talking.

Sunday morning was slow. Mr. P was doing a photo shoot of J. TBW couldn't ski because of her wrist, and D2 was obviously down for the count. She wasn't feeling too well, so I didn't feel right leaving her to go ski. So, we went on the photo shoot, ate a great lunch and shopped. D2 laid down in the car for the shopping part. We left the mountain in the early evening.

Next time, I am definately staying longer in the mountains. I think we will stay there the whole time, and Mr. P and J can come to us. It was so beautiful, the air was crisp, but warmer than here. The snow was beautiful and the people there so friendly. All I can say is, I want more!
