long weekends away
Jul 22, 2003
I flew out this last Friday morning to Colorado to do some wedding planning but also go to a family reunion. Thought it would be perfect timing for me to get things done and see some family I haven’t seen since I was around 12 or 13. Little did I know I would be running around with my head chopped off and very lil time to think. It was definitely not a vacation style weekend.
Friday I arrived in Denver around 9ish am and was picked up by my mom. We started making our way downtown only to run into major traffic due to a gasoline spill from a truck. Welp finally we reach downtown to her office which sits on 16th Street Mall and I head upstairs to get printed up mapquest maps to my step-mom and dads hotel, along with my photographer and also make some phone calls to friends who I was meeting up for lunch with. Coincidently my photographer was next to my parents hotel and thankfully since I had asked my step-mom to go with me to meet her.
I call Liz and head over to her house to pick her up for lunch with her and Kristy. They both worked with me at my last job in Denver b4 my mom. It was a nice relaxing lunch but very hot as we decided to sit outside on the patio. I wasn’t planning on having a drink but somehow I always end up having a beer or 2 with liz =) After lunch I realize that i’m a LONG ways from my parents hotel so away I rush across town, calling the photographer on the way to say i’ll be a wee lil late. I pick up my step-mom and my lil sisters decide they want to go also. The photographer was VERY personable, cheerful.
