Today we went on our first real vacation since last year's fateful trip to Hawaii (where we learned we'd be leaving the tundras of MN for the hills of TN). We've taken a couple of weekend trips (Asheville, NC & New Orleans, LA) but this was our first full week away in a long time.
Can I say that early morning flights SUCK? In a big way. Unfortunately, when flying out of Nashville it seems like your more affordable choices are either at the crack of dawn or later in the day. In order to enjoy a full day in CO, we opted for the 6 a.m. flight on Frontier.
This was my first flight on Frontier. I'm hooked. Each seat has a personal TV with a variety of channels. I alternated between snoozing and watching some dog show on Animal Planet. (I totally want a 13" Beagle. ) They proudly brew Caribou Coffee.
You may also know from their commercials that their planes feature cute and cuddly animals on the tails of their planes. Each of these animals has a name, and when exiting the plane, the staff thanks you for flying with them on behalf of the airline and the animals! Our plane featured Snow & Klondike - the Polar Bear Cubs. My hope someday is to fly on the plane with Lucy, The Canadian Goose.
Denver had some beautiful weather today - warm and sunny and just perfect for jet-skiing. Would you believe that with all the lakes in MN I have never ever once been on a jet-ski until now? David's friend Steve hooked up his two Sea-Doo's and took us to Chatfield Lake.
A few hours later of skiin' and beerin' and it was off to Breckenridge.
