Colorado All Day/ Children Got Home Tonight

We started the day in Grand Junction & ended the day in Denver. Along the way, we took a nice walk at "No Name Canyon" rest area. 
   Since our customer is in Aurora, I tried to park at the nearest truckstop to there. Although it was relatively early in the afternoon, all of the parking spaces were full. I didn't feel right about improvising a space, so Stephanie looked up another truck stop with reserved parking. She booked the very last one available. We backtrack 9 miles to Denver and happily backed into our slanted $15 parking space. 
   Craving an evening on the town, we ordered a ride from Uber. The lady who pick us up seemed to have a difficult time with directions. We eventually arrived at an outdoor shopping center with a movie theater. We bought tickets for "Deepwater Horizon". It was a pretty good movie. 
   After the show, we went next-door to enjoy some frozen yogurt. We shared a combination of chai latte and pumpkin spice, with almonds and maraschino  cherries on top. 
   While we stood outside savoring our confection, I called each of my children on FaceTime. They all had quite a weekend. Their mother was out of town; Hunter went camping with Boy Scouts; and the younger two boys spent two nights with my parents. They were all at home when I called. 
   The Uber ride back to the truckstop went much more smoothly than the one we went to town in. Morning starts early, so I will bid you all a "good night".
