Unbelievable day.
John and I are on our first solo vacation together. We were so excited! So headed to Salina last night to drop Charlie off at Grammas. I woke up bright and early at 7am to head to pick up John at his parents' house. Turning on Crawford from Ohio (out of nowhere) comes a big truck that almost clipped me followed by 11 law enforcement officers. After a chase that reached 100mph, the truck eventually turned. The child in the truck was okay. I don't know what was going on but I was glad I wasn't hurt.
Next we headed to Hays to see Bryan and Liv's baby for a few hours. He had some issues at birth so we couldn't see him yet, but looked at him through a few rooms. He is big and beautiful! It was so rewarding. John and I are SO happy for them! Plus, we picked out some super, super cute outfits for Philip and I made a canvas that I was pretty excited with.
On the road again, we may have been slightly fudging the speed a little. All of the sudden the radar detector beeps so John laid off the cruise control. Then a K-Stater passed us and we were like, "Cool!" until a trooper pulled up right behind them and pulled them over. Definitely could have been us, but glad it wasn't.
A little while later we went to watch the K-State game at a bar called Louie's Bar. It was pretty neat, but I wasn't overall taken away. Would have been better with a KSU win, but I am happy to have Big 12 Championship in Football, Big 12 Football Coach, Big 12 Season Championship in Basketball, and Big 12 Basketball Coach. It is still a good day to be a Wildcat!
Next we went to meet a guy that John was going to buy some skis from. They were really nice skis and John got a good deal so we were pumped. We met outside of this liquor store, Applejacks, which is like the superstore for all alcohol. Incredible. We obviously went over-board in there, but got champagne to drink at the B&B :)
After that we went to Christy's Sports to get ski rentals and then John needed some boots. This was the BEST customer service I have ever had. They were the nicest people ever and really helped me understand everything. I am unbelievably pleased, which is something that is hard to do! Unfortunately, found out that John's skis wouldn't fit for his shoe size, but luckily the seller is taking them back. John and I both got our stuff and left pretty happy :)
The Miner's Pick Bed and Breakfast in Idaho Springs, CO is INCREDIBLE. I am so happy, it is like a dream!!! John and I cracked open the champagne and are enjoying the beauty.
After getting out of a $50 parking ticket on Thursday and thinking Spring Break was going to be a bust, John and I are having the time of our life!
