Denver
We left Fort Worth on Thursday, May 8, with Denver as our target for Mother's Day Weekend. Our drive through the Panhandle was uneventful -- spent the night in Dalhart (woo-hoo!) at a basic-but-adequate Best Western called "Nursanickel Motel." We nursed those nickels to the music of several trains rolling through town during the night, but -- thank heavens -- there were no "My Cousin Vinnie" experiences where dishes rattled off tables and we had to cling to one another to keep from shaking off the beds. The trains were close, but the sturdy Nursanickel absorbed the vibes (but we still heard the whistles).
Hit Denver Friday afternoon, and visited with Bibbus and had dinner with her (at Luigi's, of course) before heading up to Chez Perkins (or is that Perkins B&B?) for two nights. Here are three of my favorite men cozying up on the couch.
Then here's Will, doing his Steve imitation. I have a pic almost exactly like this of Steve sitting in his toybox, but it was a plain old cardboard thing. If ever I get all those old photos sorted and manage to scan some into the computer, I may post this again with its ancient companion pic.
Not to be left out, here is Alex, "reading" with Steve. I also took a couple very amateur videos of the boys eating birthday cupcakes (from a neighbor's party), but I have forgotten how to post them, and may do so later, if I get it all figured out again.
I highly recommend the food at the Perkins B&B -- Steve cooked breakfast both days: waffles and bacon on Saturday; Eggs Benedict & bacon for Mother's Day brunch. For Saturday dinner, Laura put together a very yummy pasta dish. Strawberries were really good, too. Max & I contributed Log Cabin syrup for the waffles, and Pepperidge Farm garlic bread to go with the pasta. Otherwise, we were free-loaders and loving it!
Orvis had a good time with Sadie and Atlas, too. I think I can safely say, "A good time was had by all."
We left a little before noon for Casper for our next night out on the road in another Best Western, but without trains or cutesy name. Made it to Bozeman/Belgrade for the next night, and finally to our cabin on Tuesday afternoon.
