The first day of our adventure was great. We left Lafayette at 8 a.m. Stopped for a great Mexican lunch in Hope. (The Clintons declined our invitation to dine.) We arrived at the Alpine Inn at 3 p.m. Nick told the Inn Keeper it was the best Inn he had ever seen. Adding that it was the only Inn he had ever seen. We topped off the day with a steak supper at Outback. We are enjoying a movie bundled up in the King Bed. We listened to an audio book and played video games (Nick played. I drove) on the way up.
It would have been a perfect day; but the Cajuns lost. It was a good game and very exciting but not satisfying. However, as Nick says “More time for fun things.”
We plan to visit the Science Museum tomorrow and check the view from one of the surrounding peaks.
My memory of the day was Nick’s overall enthusiasm. He frequently made comments appreciative of what we were seeing or doing. I tend to get down pretty easily and it is a great lesson to be with someone who is almost always up.
Looking forward to more fun and no basketball tomorrow.
Be blessed.
Nick
