Rock and Roll Sunday

A dark start to the race on Sunday.  Not to mention it was brrr cold!  
 The sun made its appearance before the start of the race.  Still cold but beautiful!
 Here we go!
 I didn't take a lot of pictures because my hands were cold!  Really cold!  I wanted to keep them tucked in my sweatshirt.
 I did manage to snap a few pictures of the baseball stadium.  I love baseball!


 The band members were all bundled up!
 6.2 miles in the books!  I warmed up some by the end of the race.  It was a beautifully clear day.
 There were big crowds after the race.
 Bonnie and I had our warming blankets on!

 A bigger crowd than Saturday.


There is a story here.  We were taking the light rail to a stop where Keri could easily pick us up.  She was so nice to drop us off in the early, early morning.  My map app said it was 4.4 miles to the station.  We decided to walk.  It had the potential of being a bad decision.
As were were walking we kept talking about getting an Uber.  We didn't.  What's the big deal, walking 4 more miles.
We were at the light rail station, we thought.  It wasn't 4.4 miles. About 2 miles.  But this was not the light rail station it was the train station.  AHHHH.  We talked to a nice man that told us where the light rail station was.  Only 2 blocks away.  Whew!
We found it.  The issue then was how to get a ticket.  We saw where you could use your pass but no place to buy a ticket.  We walked back to where we could see workers.  The man we asked did not speak much English.  He tried to help us.  No luck, still no tickets.  The place he sent us to was closed.  We finally talked to a security person and he directed us right back to our original place.  We had missed the place to buy tickets.  I think we ended up walking over 14 miles for the day.
We got back to Keri's and discovered our flight was delayed 1.5 hours.  That would get us home about 2 AM.  Work for me on Monday. What do we do?  We were supposed to go the Escape Rooms with the Doolittles.  Bonnie and I decided to try and change our flight. We called and got on an earlier flight.  We had a long layover in Las Vegas but were home by 10:45 PM. It was quite the adventure.  Can't wait for another Denver adventure.  Goodbye to the Doolittles and Denver.  We will be back for sure.  Thanks for a fun, adventure filled weekend.
