June 26, 2010 - Heading to Colorado

Well Lisa and I are headed to Avon, CO to spend a week with Dan and Becky.  On the return we are going to stop off in Lexington KY to celebrate the 4th of July at a wedding of the daughter of our friends.  Actually a friend of Hannah's.  So we decided to drive to Cincinnati, fly to CO, spend the week on vacation and fly back to Cincinnati, pick up Hannah who is planning to fly to Cincinnati and then we all drive down to Lexington.  So far so good...

We leave Pittsburgh with plenty of time to make it to the Cincinnati airport. For a break we stop in Mt Sterling between Columbus and Cincinnati.  A quick walk of the main corner shows that the town definitely needs a facelift.  We find Veterans Memorial Park and eat our lunch.

The trip starts uneventfully as the airport is small and easy to get around.  Lisa figures out how to get WiFi working so we check our email before getting on the plane.  The good news is that trip from Charlotte to Denver will be first class but the bad news is that we have a 3 hour layover.  After buying a few small presents at Harley Davidson for Dan and Becky, we go to Chili's for dinner.  Shortly after dinner we get the first many phone calls from USAir that our flight will be delayed.  Ended up 3 hour delay so we get into Denver close to 1AM their time.  The Red Lion Hotel which I got through PriceLine ended up as a very nice hotel for $39.
