JACKIE B III Going Loopy

What a special trip this was. We flew to Colorado for Mike’s best man, Ralph,  daughter’ wedding. You can see here the groom Luther, sweet Gail, Ralph and the bride Emily. When we arrived in Colorado the weather was beautiful in the seventies. This was the view from our VRBO we shared with Mike’s long time high school friends Scott and Pam. Hiking Day 1 Overnight that changed. Beautiful, but what about the outdoor wedding?!? Emily was not deterred and the ceremony was beautiful.  Wedding in a snow globe was a once in a lifetime event. As my children, former REI employees; told me there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.  Here we are all dressed up for the wedding. Besides the snow made the hot tub that much more enjoyable. Walking sticks and knee braces enabled me to hang with everyone when we went out hiking in the Rocky Mountain National Park. The views were amazing ….and we saw lots of Rocky Mountain critters. This was an amazing shot.  We saw man...

  We left Gibson Island on a sunny morning and made our way up to Baltimore. The city is a major shipping port and the ships and cranes were everywhere we looked. We passed Fort McHenry on our way into the harbor. This is where Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the Star Spangled Banner during the Battle of Baltimore in 1814. There is a lot of rich maritime history here. We took advantage of being in a big city.  Barbara saw a dentist, Mike went shopping and we caught a flight out of BWI to Denver to attend long time friend’s daughters wedding. Our Journey “There the ships go to and fro, and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭104:26‬ ‭NIV‬‬
