Our long-awaited trip to attend Sara’s wedding. Wednesday, November 8 Barb and I flew to Denver nonstop on Southwest without incident, departing at 12:45pm and arriving before 3pm, civilized hours on both ends. We arrived at the Denver airport which somehow seemed even larger than before. It took us 30 minutes from landing until we …
Allie and Perri came to Maryland the week before Thanksgiving, then Allie and I flew to Denver to spend Thanksgiving with the Embreys. Barb stayed in Maryland with Perri. In the summer of 2021, we had a nice week in Colorado with the Embreys and had our first visit with Embrey Ann (Emmy). Sara invited …
Allie and I went to Colorado to spend some time with the Embreys. Barb joined us at the end of the week before the three of us headed onward to Hawaii on another leg of our 25th Anniversary celebrations. This is one of those trips that I didn’t document all that well, so mostly I’m …
Our post-Covid (?) family reunion with the Embreys (and to meet Embrey Ann) in Denver and Breckenridge, plus a side visit to Estes Park to see Frances and Dave. In the depths of the Covid-19 pandemic, just after the elections in November 2020 and around the time the first vaccine developments were announced, I got …
Continuation of our trip from Denver to National Parks in Utah and Arizona. Part 1 is here. Tuesday, August 16 Per Stewart’s suggestion, we headed to Arches National Park in the morning and oriented ourselves at the visitor center. Our first stop after the visitor center were the canyon views near The Organ and Tower …
This was our summer of The Great American West, which I guess is a pretty much obligatory road trip for any American family. We took advantage of the Embreys being in Denver, a good place to start. We also stopped in to see Aunt Leona, Uncle Larry in Flagstaff near the Grand Canyon. I wanted …
We looked after Gerard and Chris’ dog, Dawson, for a day or two in early January. She was a beast of a puppy and tore up Gerard and Chris’s house when she was young, but she’d mellowed a bit and was a pretty good house guest…for a short while. Harry Potter and I were a …
For Christmas 2002, I got myself one of them newfangled digital cameras, so 2003 marks our first year of mostly digital photos, with timestamps that help me place when each shot was taken. Lucky you! Barb, Allie and I started the year (actually the end of 2002) in Florida with Grandma and Grandpop at their …
Having Betsy, Joe and the girls in Colorado gave us a good reason to go see them and try some skiing. They scouted several ski slopes and recommended Copper Mountain. Betsy enticed us with a postcard and some photos of the Copper Mountain village she took on a January visit with her friends Pat and …
In the early part of the year, I’d started hearing and liking a number of songs from a group called the Turnpike Troubadours. I looked at their touring schedule to find a possible concert near me when I noticed they would be playing at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver. I’d always wanted to see a show at Red …
