Traveling Across the Country

From Pennsylvania to Colorado, we went...or we thought we were going to.  After packing our bags and starting the trek from Johnstown, Pennsylvania to Baltimore, Maryland we found out that our flight was cancelled.  Luckily, we were not stranded at the airport all day and night, but instead in a nice warm hotel where the breakfast was provided for us within a timely period of us arriving.  It may not have been the travel day that we were all looking for, but I am pretty sure we made the best of it! Plus, it was St. Patrick's Day!! The luck of the Irish!

Anyways, up again at the wee hours of the morning, we were ready for take two of the travel day.  This time, we were not all flying together, but instead on two separate flights and it was definitely lucky to be on the earlier flight.  Unfortunately, for the later flight, not only was it not direct, but the plane was delayed due to high winds at its connection and then a vast majority of luggage was lost for a period of time.  In the end though, we all made it Colorado and the luggage did finally show up as well.

Now, it was time to explore and adjust to altitude.

We could not have asked for a better location to stay.  The hotel was more than accommodating and everyone was so personable in Loveland, Colorado.  We were surrounded by restaurants, shops, malls, and outlets; not to mention the Rocky Mountains.  There was no hustle and bustle and a little ways off there was a nice residential area that was brand new.  Any direction that you looked, there were numerous possibilities and opportunities.

Even though the first day was a struggle, I found myself on day two running further just to do more exploring.  There was a sidewalk everyone if you wanted to go for a run or a walk and to make it that much better, it was warm!

It had been so long and way over due for us to see the sunshine and it actually be warm! I mean it was time to break out the flip flips and shorts! Unfortunately, we were a little too over joyous and ended up with snow before the week was over.  Oh well.

Hoping for some warm weather that lasts! See in you another level altitude!
