We had brunch/lunch all together and then went to visit the arch. Unfortunately our flight left earlier than everyone else’s so we couldn’t join them for the ride to the top of the Arch, but it was well worth the trip and to watch the movie of how the Arch was built. If I’m not mistaken this is the same video I watched every single year on field trips when I was growing up. Oh, the St. Louis memories….

Our flight left right on time and we were all set to arrive home when we hit weather trouble. Lots and lots of weather trouble. Our flight was diverted to Colorado Springs where we waited…and waited…and waited….and then waited some more. Finally they gave us an opportunity to get off the plane and look for a ride home. At this point it was late and our closest ride option was  1 1/2 hours away. So, we tried to find a shuttle….all sold out. So, we tried to find a rental car….all sold out. So, we hopped in a cab! Our friendly cabbie took us from the airport in Colorado Springs to the airport in Denver to get our cars and we finally made it home some time around midnight. Phew!!! B’s big luncheon is tomorrow and he would not have graduated if we didn’t make it home. Nothing like cutting it close…
