Busy but enjoyable day here in Breckenridge. Trying to figure out how to convince my employer to build an outpost here. We have one in Fort Collins, so it's only logical that our Colorado footprint should expand. Seems like there's a lot of untapped talent here in Breck and with this whole recession thing, I'm sure commercial real estate is a steal right now.
Chandler slept in this morning until just before eight and didn't even try waking me up today (thanks sweetie) after she got up. I got out of bed and found her just lying on the bed with with our dog who seemed to have mellowed out a bit after a nervous couple of days.
We got a hike in this morning. Found a trail right off of Tiger Road not far from where we're staying. I figured I would be the one to get tired and throw in the towel early but it was my daughter the triathlete who wanted to call it quits after a couple of miles. Guess she needs to ease her way into it :).
This afternoon we headed off to Denver to pick up Tricia and Clancy. My friend Mike picked them up at the airport and Chandler, Addie and I met them at Mike's house. I hadn't seen Mike in about 8 years so it was good to catch up with him and meet his wife for the first time.
After dinner with Mike and his wife Janet, we had some interesting family drama on the way back from Denver. As we're driving along I-70 west, Clancy realizes that his Nintendo DS is not in his backpack and thinks he left it on the plane. We also quickly learn that his DVDs and iPod is not there either. Both Tricia and I had left stuff on planes in the past and never saw it again. We expected this situation to be no different. As we drove, Tricia managed to get in touch with Southwest Airlines lost and found at DIA.
While I'm not a big fan of flying Southwest, they do seem to do customer service very well, but the very fact that SWA had a lost and found at the airport was a shock to me. Most other airlines rely on aiport personnel to handle lost and found. Still I expected no love in this case. I was dead wrong. Some either very honest employee of passenger turned the items in and they will be shipped to us tomorrow.
Tonight, my son is sleeping peacefully in his bed knowing that he will once again be able to play Lego Indiana Jones on his Nintendo DS. Thank you Southwest Airlines. Oh and you got my family here safely as well. Thanks for that too.
