To celebrate our engagement, our friends, Liz and Max, took us to Killington Brewfest!

While mountain tops and beaches are gorgeous settings to ask someone to make an eternal commitment to you, I preferred something that exemplified our relationship and Chris’ character; something…. unprecedented. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed! And, like any good story, this one involves defecation.

We climbed and we climbed and we climbed up high; we climbed as high as the clear blue sky.
We were nice and chilly at the campsite this morning. We had three climbs ahead of us. The last climb was too big, the middle climb was too small, and the first climb was just right.
After a delicious breakfast courtesy of Jon G, we drove the four hours back to Vegas. We made a stop at the Hoover Dam on the way.
Sadly, the post office did not have Chris’ wallet when we stopped by. Luckily, the gal working that morning was very helpful. We explained the situation so she gave us her name and told us to call Monday; she would tell us over the phone whether or not it had arrived.
We backtracked to Flagstaff and actually had to use the windshield wipers for a light shower- the first rain we’ve seen in a long time!
In Flagstaff, we stopped at a bike shop for a new tire for me and a new rear wheel for Chris. His rim was cracking around the spoke nipples.
Jon then showed us around town, and we even had a free ride on a conference bike! Alpine Pedaler is a local company who takes people on bar crawls with these bikes; sounds like fun to us!
We met a bunch of Jon’s Flagstaff friends later in the evening and even had a fun FaceTime session with our pals back east, who were congregated for a weekend in Stonington, CT.
Thanks for an awesome day, Jon!
