A Trip to Remember.

All the planning, waiting, and counting down are over, and so is the trip. What an amazing 12 days with Matt and Mexico. The trip was what we needed and I will live off of these memories for quite some time, especially since we came back to cold and snow and while I was there I managed to get the best tan of my life!

In true 236adventures blog fashion, I will break down the days into it’s own post.

Let’s start with a Very-Denver Thanksgiving.

We managed to get to the airport around 5 in time to make it on the first flight out of Dickinson. After arriving in Denver, we took a shuttle out to Quality Inn on Tower Road. They were awesome and let us check in early, giving us a chance to have a morning nap before swimming in their pool.

We had our Thanksgiving feast at the Village Inn, which was only a fabulous walk away. The weather was beautiful in Denver. At Village Inn, I had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberries, bread, and a fabulous piece of pumpkin pie. Matt had a Cuban sandwich with Tri-berry pie. You can lead a horse to water!

With our options limited at the hotel and being sick of TV, we took the shuttle back out to the airport to wander around and look at airplanes for a bit. Obviously, we were not sick of airports, yet (note this foreshadowing for a future blog post).

We ended the day with vending machine food and Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving special. Although it wasn’t your standard holiday and we were missing family, we tried to make it as traditional as possible!
