Valentine's Day--Part 2

As it flurried we began our drive back to WY. But we weren't on I25 long when we noted a sign. It said that the highway was closed due to weather at the last exit in Colorado. Oh no! What to do? Well it was Valentine's Day after all, so what better way to enjoy the evening than with a hotel room and an evening in....LOVEland, Colorado! We enjoyed an evening of strolling through the shops they had there, then back to the room for a yummy junk food dinner.

Our bed, sorry, we had already slept in it!

By the next morning, the weather had cleared and we made it back safe and sound.

It was Valentine's Day, you can tell by the blue I have on. It was also the day before Christie's birthday and so her present from her fiance Steve was a little skydiving fun. We all went to an indoor skydiving place in Denver. After a video and a little training we suited up to fly!

After our class had been fully trained and set, we flew in a 120 MPH wind tunnel. Or in my case fell up, rather than flew.

Me flying!

More of me flying!


After a morning of flying and a nice lunch we enjoyed a nice afternoon walking around a mall that actually had more than 1 floor for a change. As we enjoyed the day shopping, however, it had started snowing a bit...
