Colorado, First Stop, Denver and Louisville

We are right now in the Hampton Inn in Louisville (LOO-iss-ville), Colorado, which is where Tony's Uncle John lives and where the Pennas are mustering for the wedding. We have a couple days of sightseeing here before the next stop in Colorado Springs.

Grandma Judy very lovingly drove us to the airport this morning at 4:45am for our 6:45 flight. It was on time, we got to preboard, and everything was smooth. No peanuts even, though they did give us a drink. John did pretty well, but was a little punchy and tired now and then.

We landed, gathered the baggage and got our rental car. We drove toward Denver, stopping at a Waffle House for a second breakfast and then checked in here. Thank you SO MUCH to the Louisville Hampton Inn for letting us check in at 11am!

I'm going to work now, Tony and John are taking a bath and hopefully a nap, and then we'll go to the Butterfly Pavilion this afternoon, if rain doesn't impede us!

Hooray for another successful leg of your epic journey! Hats off to Judy - I didn't realize the roads are even open at that time of day... Dad
