Hi Tony,
***BORING OFF TOPIC***
Well the vacation was great and at a few moments very bad. This was the first family vacation we have taken with both Nicholas and Ashley. What a treat, 500 miles in a car with 2 kids under 4. <gg>
They did really well, all things considered. We went to Denver where some of my family is located, we also have a few friends from Lincoln who live there too. We went to the Zoo, Not that impressed. Well ok Omaha's Henry Dorley is one of the best in the country and only 50 miles away instead of 500. We also went to Casa Bonita. It's a Mexican restaurant in Denver. They have great atmosphere but lousy food. Your paying for the entertainment not the food. <gg> The kids loved it, including the biggest one (Dad). <gg>
We went down towards Colorado Springs and stayed in Woodland park. Very beautiful place, we had a view of Pikes peak from our hotel room. We went to the North Pole, a.k.a. Santa Clause Village. I thought about you and Yaacov with the little alpine houses. Well maybe minus the little elves running around. <gg> It was a great place for the kids, especially Hubby. He had never been there. I had many, many years ago. They have all kinds of amusement rides, geared towards the smaller kids. The adults have to ride with the smaller kids though, so we all got to play. They boast the highest (elevation) Ferris wheel in the world. It had a beautiful view of the mountains and the valley below. I could have stayed up there all day. :-)))
I did one major boo boo though. I only had 1 clean sweatshirt left. Well it was my University of Nebraska one. I didn't even think about the fact that Colorado is now our rival in football. Well of course they suck, were #1 (1/2). <GGGG> Next year maybe another story, but we can BS about that some other time. Anyway, I couldn't figure out why I was getting all these funny looks from people. I found out when the man running the roller coaster started teasing me. Come to find out he had played for Colorado a few years back. We had a very friendly conversation about what was going on with the teams and coaches. Hmmm makes a person wonder what the heck is he doing running the roller coaster at Santa Clause Village???
Well that's my report. I'm glad to be home!!! I planted some Yarrow, columbine and moved some Lilac bushes. So I'm back to my normal routine now.
Hope everything is well with you.
I think everyone is happy to see Intel moving up again, hope this continues!!
Have a great day!!
Take Care
Ann
