Go Rockies!!

Paul and Tracy took me to the Rockies game in Denver on Sunday. Whooo Hooo! We had watched the game on Saturday on TV - warm and sunny in Denver. They live 60 miles from Denver. We took rain gear and extra jackets. We left at 10:30 in the morning, and it took us 3 1\2 hours to get there. And the game was cancelled. We still had a fun day. It was an adventure. We were on I 70, when we heard on the radio that the road was closed between Silverthorne and the tunnels. That's where we were, along with a whole bunch of other people. This is what it looks like when the small cars without 4WD or snow tires lose it - three lanes of bumper to bumper traffic. Paul is an excellent driver - picked his way through the stalled and stuck cars, some of them sideways.

We drove by the stadium as we left town so I could take a picture of it.

Paul and Tracy in Denver, waiting for the bus to the Tattered Cover Book Store, where we browsed for a long time.

We had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. What a great place, and the food was delicious. Their menu was 26 pages long!

Street and Gonzalas (Rockies players) were having lunch there too. They still had their uniform shirts on with their names on the back.

We left Denver for home about 5:30, and I can't believe what an incredible job the Co Highway Dept did. It was slow driving, but the road had been plowed, and all the stuck cars were gone.
