A Getaway!

My oldest daughter wanted to go on an airplane ride. I kindly consented to be a companion for her. What a great time! Taking off in the airplane she said, "This is so COOL!" I will attempt to share a few things we did while we were there. Here is a picture of us at the Rockies game. It was very fun even though it rained on us.
I also got to work on one of my quilts on Sista's quilting machine. So fun but also stressful! She needs a machine with a longer arm. I now understand her frustration with it. It was nice though to finish quilting a twin quilt in just two nights of sewing.
We went to the Museum of Natural History and saw the National Geographic's Exposition of "Real Pirates" We sure learned a lot, maybe a little more than we wanted to know....about the real life of pirates. We went with Sista and niece to the Downtown Aquarium in Denver where the highlight was feeding the stingrays in their tank. Daughter swears one of them bit her while feeding it. I just couldn't get myself to put my hand in there with a baby fish in my fingers.
We drove to Estes Park to get out of the valley and to see some scenery. Of course, I had to visit a quilt shop or two on the way. We saw a few critters too.
We had more adventures...just too fun! Many thanks to Sista and Bro. Sista for their hostess skills! We love the Castle family!
