Eagles Road Trip

What an amazing and precious time away with Pastor Dave and Mel. We left early Thursday morning for a getaway weekend in Denver to see the Eagles in concert in Denver. The drive was a blast as we sang Eagles and other songs in harmony, of course, and stopped in Colby at the Oasis Qdoba for chips and Starbucks.

We arrived at our lovely Airbnb and rested and cleaned up before lyfting to Coors Field.

It was extremely hot and humid waiting for the concert but when you’re with friends it’s all ok.

Our seats were down on the field up fairly close. Caroline Jones opened and was quite enjoyable then Jimmy Buffet put on a fun show. But the Eagles were amazing!! We stood up and sang every word to every song. Our new friend Cecilia joined us in our harmonies. We even got some high fives from nearby folks. I don’t know how to put into words how talented the musicians were and how much we all enjoyed it. Dave said he cried several times. I’m not a super experienced concert goer but it was the best I’ve sent for sure.

Friday morning Dave and I went for a short walk in the neighborhoods near our Airbnb because we woke up early. Then icing on the cake, we met these beautiful people for breakfast!

We ate at a hip vegan breakfast place, adventurous for us. It was surreal to see our kids on this trip. Such s blessing.

After breakfast we all rested then Dave and I had a deep several hour long convo. So good to get to know our precious friends even better on this trip. And to thoroughly enjoy life with them.

Dave and Mel and I went on a hot, fruitless walk looking for a thrift stores in the afternoon while Scotty napped. So many homeless people in downtown Denver.

Our evening was perfect. Hannah and Kent recommended a restaurant about 30 miles away situated atop rolling mountains with a view for dinner. It was an open air cidery serving yummy burgers and ribs and fries. We sat inside and out and chatted, laughed and partook.
