Denver and Beyond

Travel blog: 10/2/15

We tossed our bags in the back of a silver Ford Explorer. The drivers name was Alex. As we rolled down Elizabeth Street my mind raced about what I have and don’t have. Mike looks over and says, “relax”. OK, I have what I have and don’t have what I don’t have.

Before I know it the blue horse, the iconic statue at the entry to Denver International Airport, is looming thru the window. I love that blue horse. Mike likes it because it is electrified and its eyes change colors. The engineer. Next thing, we’re on the curb. DIA is not crowded and we make our way thru check-in, security, train and gate location. Presently bumping our way over the Rockies headed to LAX.

 

 

Headed to LAX

I like LAX airport, it is so California. (Ha, ha). It usually means we are going somewhere really fun. In past trips when the boys were young and we traveled with Gail and Bud and their kids we would often pass a few hours at what we called the “Star Wars Bar”.

It’s the space – age looking thing with the disc restaurant that kind of hovers in space. It’s on all the postcards. We took the elevator. The soda fountain machine makes space noises when it dispenses soda, the bathrooms are worthy of a photograph. We have munched on many a good lunch while the kids finish their homework they promised jealous teachers.

 I’m not sure if we will get in a visit this trip, but don’t miss it if you have the chance.
