The day arrived for us to leave!

Sorry about the late post. We had a busy day when we arrived and got sidetracked. :)

We got up at 2:45AM, said goodbye to our kitties and took off for the Pittsburgh airport. That drive sure does seem longer that early in the morning.

We got there at around 5:15AM. I had to go to the kiosk upstairs to get our boarding passes, they put is in the middle seat in very widely spaced rows. Annika was NOT happy.

After getting through the security checkpoint and finally arriving at the gate, Martina went to ask if they could rearrange the seating. They said they couldn't because it was a full flight. Luckily this guy agreed to switch so Annika could sit with Martina.

The layover in Dallas was 3 hours, but it seemed to go by fast. It was a good thing we were inside! It was over 80 degrees already at 8:30AM. Unlike at Pittsburgh, they were able to put us all sitting together this time!

Martina was so excited when she saw the mountains in Colorado Springs. She took a bunch of pictures with her phone. Here's one of the mountains from our hotel though.

After we got to our hotel and went for a quick swim, we met Jutta and Patrick Scarry for dinner. They took us to a 5 star resort (The Broadmoor) for dinner. We ate at the Golden Bee. It was alright, but Chad got sick that night. It might've been the pot pie he had. 

Here's a picture from behind The Broadmoor. It's pretty sweet place.

I'll add some more tomorrow.
