How do we get there from here?

After Tuesday's day of activities, Wednesday was a much quieter day - filled with business and shopping. Shopping: Meg with Dan's family. Business: Dan typing his Ethics paper due on Friday. One would think Meg had the better day, but as the picture below demonstrates, Dan's wasn't so bad either. In the evening, we did cut out some time to walk along the Blue River in Breckenridge and enjoy a great family dinner.

This morning, we awoke early and took a hike with Dan's dad at Hoosier Pass. Our hike got off to a great start but within no time (literally seconds) we were out of breath due to the altitude and struggling to keep going. We did make it up about a mile up the mountain trail and got some awesome pictures. In the end, the mountain won and we headed back home hungrier than when we began. Dan had hoped to be able to wrestle a bear, but instead almost hit a beaver on the way home.

This afternoon Dan's parents drove us to Denver where we now sit in our hotel room with bellies full of hamburger (from Ted's none the less) and getting ready to enjoy an in-room movie (not that kind of movie...actually, "Reign Over Me") and a later dinner. Our flight back to Charlotte (via Chi-town) leaves early in the morning and we are excited to get back home and see our little Gracie. It's been a great week but there really is no place like home (and we don't mean Kansas!). Here are yet some more pics...
