The weekend was mostly spent travelling. We were on vacation all last week, and I'll start a thread for that once I have pics and videos edited and uploaded.
As for the actual weekend...
Friday morning we broke camp in Moab, loaded the rental car and started driving east toward Rocky Mountain National Park.
Got to the park mid afternoon and Trail Ridge Road was closed just past the continental divide because they'd had a snow storm in the higher elevations. Saw a bunch of elk, some moose, and a porcupine. Made camp at a place called Winding River which is right at the entrance of the park. Drove into Grand Lake for dinner. Froze our asses off in the tent that night, but still managed some sleep.
Saturday morning we broke camp and loaded up the car. They opened Trail Ridge Road at about 9
0 am, so we drove through Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park to Estes Park, stopping at the Alpine Visitors Center and taking a ton of pictures along the way.
Once we were out of the park, we drove to Denver and checked into the Holiday Inn near the airport at about 3
0 pm. Showered and took a nap for a few hours. Then we went to downtown Denver and walked through the 16th Street Mall, which was a madhouse. Had dinner at Tokyo Joes, then drove to Arvada for DenverDave's gig. Stayed for about two sets. I sat in with the band for a couple of songs, then we went back to the hotel and slept for a few hours.
Sunday we got up at 5
0 and packed up and headed to the airport. Turned in the rental car, took a shuttle to the airport, and got through security at about 7:15. Flight boarded at 8:30. Took off at 9
0. We lost two hours on the flight, so we ended up landing in Atlanta at about 2
0 EST. Our flight out of Atlanta got delayed by about 2 hours, so it was around 6
0 by the time we landed in Charleston, then about 7
0 by the time we got home. Chilled out for the rest of the evening.
Monday we got up and unpacked the car, then went into town to get groceries. My parents, grandma, and sister came to the house for a hot dog dinner. They left around 7
0 then we watched a couple of episodes of Eureka that we'd DVR'd. Then to bed around 10
0.
5
0 came too early this morning, and it sucks being back at work.
Sometime this week I should have a ton of pictures and videos of the vacation to share.
