Well, we headed to Denver last Thursday afternoon. Chris wanted to attend the continuing education classes at SLA. We stayed downtown and rented a car. On Friday, after Chris got registered, we went to Vail for the day. It was really fun. There wasn't a lot going on in town except for construction and the Teva Mountain Games, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Here is Ali and I in Vail.
On Saturday Chris had his CE, so Ali and I were on our own. Of course, we went shopping. We met Dada for lunch. Ali got LOTS of compliments on her dewrag headband. Isn't it cute??!!
On Sunday after Chris had another CE we headed to the Colorado Rockies baseball game and lucky us....they were playing Dada's favorite teams the Cincinnati Reds. Unfortunately the Rockies won, but it was a great game. Ali did great and even got a free hat out of it.
On Monday after more conference time, we went up to Estes Park, which is nestled just outside of the Rocky Mountain National Park. Once there we called Melissa (a friend of Kitty's from St. Vincent) who works at Lane Guest Ranch during her summers (

All in all it was a great combination of work and leisure. Ali did a great job and it was nice to be able to travel with her. With this successful venture we will be sure to do more traveling in the future.
