Today we got up around 9:00 and headed towards Denver. Not a lot to see in the western part of Nebraska, which worked out well since we needed to get to Phoenix for Mark and Jake's flight home on Thursday. Keeping our focus on nutrition, our first stop was at an IHOP just south of Denver and Yes - we did get a few cinnamon rolls.
From there we headed to the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. We watched a movie in which the first years got yelled at, toured the Visitor's Center, walked over to the campus and took a look at the Chapel. It was a beautiful day and a great setting at the base of the Rockies. The scenery probably hadn't changed much since Papa went there over 50 years ago.
After leaving the Academy we made our way over the Rockies. There was a huge fire nearby which made the sky shine in all sorts of brilliant colors. Following winding rivers and tree-lined peaks we made it to Durango, where we stayed for the night.
