Denver was great, we were able to catch up with many friends and make some new ones. We went to a show, "Come from Away" which was fantastic. We also went to the Brown Palace for High Tea.
The Brown Palace Atrium
We had a couple of lovely dinners with other friends before we headed downtown to catch the train to Chicago. The train was running a bit late due to a previous medical emergency somewhere in the middle of Colorado, but we made it on the train with enough time to make dinner in the dining car. For the record, Amtrak dining car food is pretty good, much better than airline food...
After a wobbly night (apparently they were trying to make up time and the extra speed made it wobble more) we woke to a spooky looking Halloween sunrise in Nebraska.
Where are the pumpkins?
Getting into Chicago by train was pretty fun I must say. We even took an obligatory photo our first day there.
Suck in that gut Brian!

Now we are relaxing for another week before we head east. Oh yeah, GO PHILLIES!

Choo choo! I am finding the train stories on Calm so relaxing, I am curious to see if I now fall asleep on a real one.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're having a wonderful trip. I hope the knowledge of freedom from work brings healing joy.
Now I have to comment that I love whatever you're wearing in the pic with Christine.
