Europe Chronicals - Day 1

10:05 am MST – Denver International Airport – Zonked…
Steve and I were sitting in standard black leather backed airport chairs. We’ve made some final calls saying good-bye to our friends and family as we wait to embark on our European Vacation.

Last night our Great friends Katie and Simon were married at the top of Keystone Mountain. The ceremony was lovely and heart-felt. Even stoic Steve cried when they read their hand written vows. The temperature was perfect with a bit of wind, and you could see Lake Dillon gleaming behind them. The night was just as good – with fantastic food, drinks, and obviously friends.

It goes without saying that Steve and I are blessed. And among our most precious and dear things are our friends. No matter the amount of time that has passed between visits, its always as though no time at all has passed.

Great Quotes:
Sarah: “I’m exercising” (while stretching my legs at the airport)
Steve: “Your right to annoy me?”

Uneventful flight for the first leg to Philadelphia – although Skymall is our new favorite magazine. Absurd and Amazing contraptions all in one place.

Examples:
Sleeping Airplane Guy: would you feel silly having this thing with you? Is sleep really that necessary?












Neck Stabilizer













Dog Tote: For the dog that hates to walk












This one: No comment. (I work from home - you gotta get your excercise in somehow!)














And my favorite – Death Office – I love that its set up on the driver side… so you can drive and manage your business at the same time. Watch out spam and small children, both could ruin your processing speed!














At the Philadelphia airport we were so busy eating our cheese steak that we almost missed the plane (they had boarded an hour early). We rushed on, only to be delayed 1 hour because of a thunderstorm. But finally we took off for the Netherlands!
