Cool-o-rado

A primary motivator for our recent global excursions was to celebrate Unkie Chad aka Chutch Migillicutty aka DJ Chimichanga's recent mastery of business administration. To Boulder we went and convened with some of Chad's biggest fans. While getting in some family QT, were also able hit the slopes, indulge in Colorado's finest brews, make sure the local fish weren't getting too comfortable in their ponds, and treat local diners and hotel guests to the joys of an 8 month old's jet lag.

Rare sleeping moment

Much more common awake moment

Although the trip was way too short, we left confident that Colorado was in good hands with a master administrator (and musical styler) in its midst.

Tell Tail Sign

While the rest of the Texpatriate clan was traveling to and fro, Zambezi enjoyed an extended stay at a dog day care center offering "bespoke service" and "a uniquely spacious outdoor dog creche." Sounds lovely doesn't it?  Like most dog day care centers, LondonWoof posts pictures of the dogs on their Facebook page so that owners can see how much fun their pet is having. After over a week with no pictures, I emailed to make sure everything was ok and was assured: "Zambezi is doing great, he is playing most of the day outside with his friends.There are many guests and not enough days of the month to show them all on Facebook ;)" Hmmm...not exactly the "bespoke service" advertized, but I felt confident he was fine and maybe just wasn't photogenic enough for their artistic pictures posted online. But alas, five days later I saw this post and it occurred to me that maybe I had just been taking pictures of the wrong end...

Bouncing Round the Global Room

Apologies for the radio silence! Nevertheless, 4 flights, 18 days, 10,295 miles, 14 family visits, one graduation, one wedding, one dead duck, and many new grey hairs later, we have arrived back in London and blogging will resume! So stay tuned for updates and the most recent adventures of the Texpatriate clan.
