Laura Goes to Colorado

On Monday, August 18, Nancy and I flew with Laura to Colorado Springs for Laura's freshman year at Colorado College. The check-in line at the Burlington Airport:

At the airport we unexpectedly met Eric and Barbara Burnham. Eric is the only child of Clayton Burnham. (That earlier post mentions that Nancy and Laura attended the calling hours with me, but were out of town for a college visit on the day of the funeral; they were visiting Colorado College!) Eric and Barbara had been in Vermont to bury Clayton and take care of other family matters, and were returning home to Phoenix. You can see them in the background of this photo, but I did not notice them until a few minutes later when Barbara introduced herself:

We had uneventful flights and even arrived in Colorado Springs early.

August 18 was also Nancy's and my 29th anniversary. We celebrated by eating out (all three of us) at the Tavern at The Broadmoor. We ate in the glass-enclosed Garden Room. It was a delightful evening.
