More on Day one

Saul is itching for more pool time so I'll summarize his journal entries for the day. The theme of the day is look alikes....first it was Uncle Rusty (I mean his look alike) exiting the Frontier plane before our flight out to CO. The second sighting at the Budget car rental was none other than Barack Obama, at least his look alike version. I (Anne) noticed and two minutes later Saul commented my exact thoughts. The theme of the night is relax, pool time, eat lots of free motel food, mixing sodas (the kids specialty), and did I mention pool time. Saul's highlights--airplane ride and pooltime. Clay's favorite was the pool time. It's one of those inside/outside pools that provides much entertainment ducking below the wall that ends at the surface of the water and exits to the other side. As for my highlights seeing the rainbow colored hot air balloon early this morning in Hudson on the way to the airport, landing safely, enjoying the sights of CO, the motel and that Cracker Barrel and Famous Daves are right out our motel window (two favorites of mine). The Air Force Academy is situated in a beautiful area nestled among the foothills/mountains of Colorado Springs...gorgeous when rainy with lightning striking behind them and as the clouds give way to the sun! Sorry no pictures...long day, more tomorrow. I'd tell you what we're doing tomorrow but that would spoil the excitement.
