On Thursday, Sept. 11th, Mom, Grandma, Aunt Becky and I left from the Augusta Airport (the one Brian helped to design) and headed for Denver, Colorado! Might I add that of the Atlanta, Denver, and Augusta Terminals--the Augusta was the most welcoming and nicely decorated! :-) Brian did a super job. I was a bit fearful to fly not only because I was 5 1/2 months pregnant, but because it was only my second time flying. God was in control though, and we arrived safely without any problems.
We went to Denver for my cousin's wedding. My Aunt Renee moved out there many years ago and she's the only one in our family that doesn't live in the Augusta, Ga area. It is so amazing to see the landscape out there, but goodness....it's very different!
The wedding was at a state park in Aurora, Co. The vistas were breathtaking, and someone told me that the Pope visited there in the early 1990's. I couldn't stop taking pictures.
While in Colorado, we rented a car so we could go sight-seeing. On Sunday, we went to Breckenridge, a precious ski town/resort area! I wanted to go to Aspen (for my love of Dumb and Dumber) but we decided not to go there! Breckenridge was hosting their annual Oktoberfest, and it was quite a sight to see. I'd love to do a winter trip but maybe sometime later in life.
We had great fun, and more than anything, it gave us a chance to spend some time together. Grandma had great fun, too. She even let us cut her hair and I did her makeup! It was a well-deserved rest from Grandpa since he's quite demanding these days...
