Colorado Recon Mission

* DISCLAIMER: Post is not baby-related. There are no cute pictures included. *

The reason baby posts have been non-existent this past week is Operation Rocky Mountain High has been initiated.

The mission:

• Primary objective: Secure an apartment.
• Secondary objective: Order a crib.
• Targets of opportunity: Find a dealership to purchase a car and visit friends.

As of yesterday afternoon, I completed the primary objective. Our new hometown will be in Superior, CO. By NYC standards, the apartment complex is sick. There are many amenities that we will most likely never use, but it is close enough to the Front Range to let us see everyday why we chose to pick-up and move across the country.

Since we hope that the lure of the mountains will also draw some visitors out to us, we asked premiere vacation home designer, CindyB, to work on a furniture layout that would allow us to be like a small hostel. I think you will find the sleeping arrangements for eleven guests cozy, as well as ample space for both conversation and boisterous family-style meals.


Now that the new apartment is finally a known part of the equation of the relocation, I can leisurely tackle some of the other move-related tasks (finding a crib and buying a new vehicle) and visiting friends that live here.
