Day one is in the books. It began with a first Uber ride at 6 am central and it ends with windows open listening to the rain and wind in the condo watching Food Network with the kids.
In between had its ups and downs. The flight was simple. Frontier Airlines has TVs embedded in the seat in front of you! It's like living in the Jetson's! Of course I was a sucker and paid the $3.99 to watch Total Recall for the 346th time and flip back and forth old school style by using the up and down button between Total Recall, The House Bunny and the premier of Mr. Robot. A virtual cornucopia of absurdity and intrigue. I will definitely follow up on Mr. Robot. Leo was very excited about Total Recall. Secret think it's. Sharon Stone thing. 
Once we arrived in Dnever, we began a series of boring waits in line. Waited for baggage. Waited for the rental car shuttle . Waited over 80 minutes in line to rent the car. The worst part was all the TVs in the place were playing nothing but infomercials. I now know way too much about "crepe lines".
However the day took a definitive upswing when Leo and I walked to our car. Make a turtle your vacation partner...fateakes your rental car a green Kia Soul.
I have never driven a Kia Soul before. But it was surprisingly roomy. Fun to drive. With a decent sound system. I made my way into Denver to drive by Coors Field and grab a bite to eat.
Coors Field was more impressive than I expected. The Sports Column bar/grill provided an awesome Denver inspired French Dip and I was able to sample a regional brew. Then I hit the road to Avon, CO.
The vistas were amazing. My preselected angsty playlist blasted out of the Soul's solid speakers and pushed my wait time frustration away. The Eisenhower bridge was definitely a highlight.
I arrived in Avon, met my folks and the kids and immediately went on a walking tour of the town. Leo was a fan of the river.
Day one is in the books. Plans already for mountain biking tomorrow on day two and swimming. Day three is family grilling, swimming and perhaps a visit to Crazy Mountin or Breckenridge breweries.
This vacation stuff might be ok.
