The time change is a wacky thing, traveling east to west. It seemed like the day was never going to end. We gathered up the luggage, found the rental Jeep, and we were off. Picked up some food and found our first beach of the day. Quick picnic and we were off to check into our hotel for the night. Ended up in downtown for a few drinks, snacks, and to watch the Knicks beat San Antonio. Finished Day 0 with a sunset and cigars under the rainbow. Only good days ahead!
Live-blogging at 33000 feet! After some very well disguised foreshadowing, we are off on vacation. For the first time since the disaster in the Bahamas 2 years ago. And this one is a big one: Maui. With the friend group. I promised that I would be good, not visit any hospitals, and be on the return flight next week. So here we go! Thanks for the early morning ride to DIA kids! Denver, to San Diego, and finally to Maui. And look who we found in San Diego! Weirdly enough, it was exactly 14 years ago today that the entire family were here in San Diego on our adventure, 3 days after I was diagnosed with cancer. Where does time go?
Clearing the deck of a few random activities as vacation looms. Enjoyed ice cream with the kids at the new Edison’s. Last time all of us will be together for most of the month of June, as Than and Ruthie take their trip to Mexico and Andrew and Ari head to Europe for their honeymoon and an EF Tours trip. Jen and I head out on vacation soon too! Made it to a Rotary meeting. Peaking my head out during a proclamation at Council. Bella girl and some walks!
The monthly LULAC luncheon took place last Friday. As I expected when it was announced that Congressman Evans would be in attendance, it turned out to be pretty wild. Four individuals had to be escorted out of the building, and several GPD officers were in the parking lot after the meeting. The individuals that were kicked out were absolutely out of control. Followed that up with a much calmed event with the mayor, the MPT, and several people from the City Managers office for a small ceremony and check presentation from the Congressman. I needed a trip to Breck after all that.
Finally made it back up to Breckenridge for the first time in a year and a half. We were able to participate in the annual Town Cleanup Day and host a small happy hour for Breck residents. Enjoyed having Jen along and introducing the intern to her first real event. Highlight was spending a few hours on a patio with the ALLO team, enjoying a few cigars and old fashioneds. Low light was the 90% tax on the cigars.
