2006 Christmas

We left Orcas Monday and caught a Tuesday morning flight to Denver and then drove to Colorado Springs. Then the snow started. We visited Julie, Marcy, and most of the family. And the snow kept up. I-5 to Denver was closed. Thursday afternoon the roads opened and we headed for Boulder to visit our friends. Saturday went early to DIA for a flight back to Seattle. The airport had been closed for 2 days and was backed up. We stood in the security line for 3 hours but finally got airborne and eventually back to Orcas - where James had been setting up for Christmas. Christmas eve we went to a UU candlelight service - and then picked up Jeni and Rita at the ferry. Christmas day we visited the Crane house. Then Tuesday Ron came up from Seattle where he had been visiting Tony. We missed seeing Noah et al and Eric et al but Natasha sent us some pictures. A wonderful Christmas!
