Sun - Mon, May 25-6, 2014 - reconnecting with Holley

We had a very nice weekend visiting with Holley and Dan in their home in Ft. Collins.  On Sunday we went to Old Town and had lunch to Beaujo's

along with thousands of motorcyclists who had gathered for a weekend bike rally.

The bikes were so loud we had to move inside to finish lunch.

On Monday we took a drive up to Rocky Mountain National Park where we looked for wildlife on the roadside

and enjoyed the view on the way up to the top

and were amazed at the clean-up work being done to repair

the September 2013 flood damage along the canyon up to RMNP from Ft. Collins

We had 13 years to catch up on and made a good first installment these three nights and two days.  We learned that Holley's three boys still have a lot in common with my two - currently they are all working a seasonal job in Alaska - just like Curt has done in the past. And we confirmed that although we have lived 1000 miles apart for much of the kids growing up years, we are still fast friends.
