Joe and I made a quick trip to Colorado recently to visit old stomping grounds (we lived there for 17 years). You might ask, didn't you and your daughter just visit Colorado?

When our daughter Kelsey asked if I wanted to travel with her to Colorado for her 20th high school reunion—make it a mother/daughter trip—I purchased my ticket in record time!
