CO Trip: Part 2



I will sum up the 4 days we were in Colorado. The main purpose of the trip was to see my sister graduate from the university. While in CO several of us had health issues (due to our pre-existing conditions combined with the high altitude in the state – most of it is above sea level which makes it hard even for healthy people at first.) Those issues kept some of us from attending the graduation (on Saturday) and made for a very long trip since you never knew when the issues would strike or if they would go away. My sister did graduate and walk across the stage and we had a smaller version of the planned graduation party (we were supposed to go to the Edelweiss German Restaurant – which is really good – but instead we had the homemade desserts and treats my mom made. It was really nice to see that my sister was able to graduate since she had been working full-time and going to school full-time for years. It was able cool to see her two dogs and the two other dogs she dog sits for – they are all so cute. I guess I was missing my dogs too.

The next day (Sunday) was Father’s Day and we (my parents, sister, her friend, my sister-in-law, niece and nephew and myself) had brunch at the Broadmor. We have been there before for brunch and liked it so we wanted to go again to show my dad – who is home on leave from Kabul – how great it is and to help celebrate Father’s Day.

That Monday we did some errands and hung out as much as we could. It was really just a day to spend time with each other.
