Day 2: We Arrive in Colorado

We knew we would get here eventually and by late afternoon we drove into Eagle Colorado. 

We boarded our flight early this morning. We stayed in the Fairmont attached to the airport in Vancouver. It doesn't get any more convenient than that but it doesn't come cheap. Air Canada will be helping us to pay for that!

Our flight was really good and we arrived in Denver by mid-morning and it was sunny and warm. 


The skies were gorgeous and the during decent Ian and I could see the landscape which was beautiful. 

Once we picked up our vehicle rental (which was the longest part of the day) we were on our way. 




The drive was breathtaking...and our ears were popping. We arrived in Eagle by late afternoon and met up with Warren and Courtney and many others that are part of their wedding. Ian left with the guys to head to a cabin for the night and Jim, Ann and I went out for a really great dinner, nice wine, a walk to a concert in the park and we wandered around town. It was such a beautiful evening. 




My first impression of Eagle is that it seems like a great place to raise a family. We saw people all over town enjoying the outdoors, riding their bikes, playing flag football, dancing to the music, enjoying a picnic, walking with drinks in hand and kids running everywhere. Eagle is a great town. 

It's going to be a great weekend!
