Even got a picture:
The next day was spent going across Kansas. There were several stops along the way to get the kinks out. One stop was in Hayes so I could go to a quilt shop to get a 'Row-by-Row*'kit. .We had decided to make it a three-day trip so we stopped for the night at the Hampton Inn in Colby. We even had time to visit a guitar shop, a flea market, and have some good Mexican food at a local restaurant.

On the road again headed for Westminster, Colorado, and the Marriott Springhill Suites where the workshop was being held. It was a great location. Within in five minutes was a Target and a shopping/food center. First thing we did was hit Starbucks. The next day when Chuck was in the workshop, I was shopping and touring.
The first morning I headed for the Butterfly Pavilion. It was about five minutes from the hotel. Also, shopped at T. J. Maxx. Then, back to Starbucks before having lunch with Chuck at Panera Bread. That night we ate at Macaroni grill. We used to eat there a lot when we lived in Little Rock.

I sat in one morning
when J.D. presented
a slide show of
his work. That's when
I got this picture.

Meanwhile, Chuck was still drawing in the workshop.
The next day was the last day of the workshop. Then, we headed for Estes Park. We went to Loveland and through the canyon. It wasn't the fastest way, but there were no heights. We were looking up instead of down.
We spent only a couple of days in Estes Park. Everyone there was going to work. It took us only two days on the road stopping only in Wichita for the night. We had our vacation from retirement and were ready to get back into the swing of things in Hot Springs Village.
*The 'Row by Row' is a nation-wide summer quilt shop program. If you make enough quilt shop stops on your summer vacation and buy a kit every time, you will have enough to make a quilt. Note: this is the only one I got. I have enough UFO's (Unfinished finished objects).
