We decided to take a day and visit Boulder. It is a lot bigger than we remember it – but that was a long time ago. Neat town. The University of Colorado is located here, which always enhances the character of any town. There is a very nice city center on Pearl street and several blocks is pedestrian only, containing restaurants, bars and shopping. The day we were here there was also an Arts and Crafts show with tents set up in the walkway and in the nearby park. We decided to book a hotel for Will and Heather’s last night.
So the last day we checked into the hotel early and spent the afternoon at the pool. Wow, did we enjoy that. You know there is traveling and vacationing – these are two very different things. We have been traveling for a long time and it can be tiring – we were all ready for an afternoon of vacationing – hence the afternoon at the pool.
On Monday we packed up and took Will and Heather to Denver airport. It was very sad to see them leave. We had a great time traveling together!
After the airport, we headed west through Colorado toward Grand Junction and a visit with Linda Bynum and her children Matt and Jessica. Stopped in Vail for a walk around and then right to Grand Junction. Grand Junction turned out to be a great place with a nice little downtown. Linda, Matt, and Jess took us to Pablo’s for some of the best pizza we’ve had anywhere. It was so nice to catch up with Linda. We haven’t seen her in so long. We really had fun visiting with Matt and Jess. They have grown into such impressive, interesting young adults.
