Day 1
Over
Labor Day weekend my father and I went to the 2012 “Hazardous Journeys Mountain
Rendezvous” Father/Son retreat hosted by Vision Forum. The event took place at
the Crooked Creek Ranch, a Young Life Christian camp in the Colorado Rockies.
We decided, since this was our first time in Colorado, that we would take a day
at the beginning and one at the end to do some touring.
 |
|
Flying into Denver,
“the mile-high city!”
|
 |
|
Our rental car. I know…it is a pink Ford.
|
We
left on Wednesday the 29th and flew to Minneapolis where we caught a
connecting flight to Denver. That day we had a wonderful time at the “Wings
over the Rockies” air and space museum; it was really cool!
 |
|
The sign in front of
the museum.
|
 |
|
The backside of the
B-52 bomber outside the building.
|
 |
|
The F4 Phantom, flown
frequently in Vietnam.
|
 |
|
“This is your captain
speaking!”
|
 |
|
“First class officer,
Benjamin!”
|
 |
|
A monument to
Colorado native, Apollo astronaut, and former Colorado congressman, Jonathan
“Jack” Swigert.
|
We
then began the drive down to Georgetown Colorado where we would spend the night.
Along the way, we drove past Red Rocks Park and amphitheater. We took a quick
detour off our route to walk around.
 |
|
A beautiful clearing
and Red Rocks Park.

 |
|
My Dad has never
looked so small! J
|
 |
|
No matter where I am,
I always try to get my daily work-out in! J
|
 |
|
A distant view of the
Red Rocks amphitheater. We could not get too close because they were preparing
for a concert.
|
We
then drove to a small town in the mountains called, “Georgetown.” We had the
BEST Pizza Ever at a famous restaurant, “Beau Joes.”
 |
|
The delicious
appetizer we had.
|
 |
|
The best Pizza in the
US! (assuming you like deep dish)
|
We
then drove to our Motel where we had a great night’s sleep. Tomorrow we head
for the conference!!
To be continued. . .
