When we arrived in Denver on Dec. 10, we didn’t really know how long we’d stay. We knew we were getting our Wilderness First Responder cert and J would be getting his AIARE Level 1 (Avalanche) cert. We knew we’d be spending the holidays. We knew we had to tend to some affairs, including switching our “permanent” residency from Virginia to Colorado. We knew we wanted to put some winter adventures in the books. And we knew there’d be a lot of family time, since J’s mom and 2 sisters (and partners and nephews) now all live in Denver.
Well, we ended up staying for 3.5 months. (For the record, 3.5 months is a LONG time according to the Wandering La Vignes.)
In between all the winter adventures, pet-sitting, yoga, concerts (only 4 much to J’s dismay) and Scrabble games, much of our time was dedicated to our 2 nephews (E & O). Just so you know, we are awesome babysitters.
But, just so the rest of J’s family does not feel left out (they enjoy their blog cameos), here are a few pics from our non-kid gatherings!
Onward! Looking forward to your next adventures!
I was just thinking that I did all of my nomadic travels before the Internet. I bet it's a lot easier now. I had a calling card but no real address…I remember getting mail was such a big deal.
Mary, I can't imagine pre-Internet vagabond life. Getting mail is STILL a big deal to us … if it can find us!
