We left Tues, Aug 10 for Denver Int'l Airport. Ian once again was a great baby on the plane. We had a 6:30 flight & was a trooper! When we got to Denver, we drove to Boulder for lunch. Sat outside on a shaded deck & had salads. Very nice. We wandered around Boulder. It is a really nice "downtown." The streets are closed off to traffic so you can walk around tree-lined brick cobble stone with shops on both sides. One of our favorite clothing companies, Prana, had a store there & they were having a 40% off sale! I got a skirt & sweatshirt (a cute fashionable one) & Dirk got some nice khakis. Then we headed two hours to Copper Mountain. We rented a condo with Neil & Ilene Sorenson. The place was nice. Copper is a ski village with shops & restaurants. We spent a lot of time wandering around there. Dirk & I went up in the ski lift. That was a lot more fun than I thought it would be!
Tues. night we prepped Dirk's race stuff. And he explained to us what we would be doing as the "crew."
On Wed. my childhood friend Vicki Rystrom came out from right outside Boulder (I didn't know that's where she lived or we would have just visited her there!). She stayed the night. We made homemade pizza (it was SO good!)
