I wrote this the other day and had problems posting it. It was a long post, so I've broken it up. I also have 3G now which I think makes a huge difference. I wrote this the 29th:

It has been an awesome two days!! Staying with my family in Denver is always really fun. Andrew arrived the night before last, after having his initial flight cancelled because the same storm we went through hit Atlanta pretty hard and that was where he had a layover. He's out of the navy!! After six years he is out... We re all still kind of letting it sink in. I took his photo right as he got in the car at the airport to document the moment. Sleepy, happy and blurry:



We had a wonderful breakfast with my aunt and uncle and then got back on the road.
My aunt and I posed in our matching hats :)



We drove through the Rockies-- which are so incredible--







"frisco"! But don't ever say that to a San Franciscan. ;)



This is a runaway truck ramp at the bottom of a grade-- doesn't look too inviting does it??



There were lots of little towns with neat names: Rifle, Copper, Silt, Parachute. We also saw Vail and the roads for Breckenridge. Then we went through the Colorado River Valley on our way to Grand Junction.



Weeee color filters :)







Grand Jumction photos next. Fingers crossed-- please post!!

I bet it will take time for Andrew to adjust to being out of the Navy; but driving through Colorado sure is beautiful isn't it?

the mountains really are big!!
