So she said the show was wonderful, but dinner afterward was not. They went to a pizza place off Times Square and she was hoping for authentic, greasy, fold it in half and bite into it, runny, cheesy pizza, but she was with a group and they ordered pizza with pineapple and ham. She was sorely disappointed.

The plan is to make a big loop. We have a few days in Denver to explore as well as start the altitude acclimation process. We're staying in downtown at some hotel with themed floors, so the kids should have fun with that and there looks like there's a lot to do in that part of the city. We may even catch a Rockies game, but we're really just going to see what we're up for. We're then driving up to Estes Park, CO and spending several days around Rocky Mountain National Park. We'll definitely go into the park, but I also have a horseback riding trip booked and I'm thinking about booking the evening ghost tour at the Stanley. After that, we're driving northwest to go to Dinosaur National Monument and will be spending a night in that area. Then we're heading into Utah to spend a couple of days to get a taste of Arches and Canyonlands. We'll be staying in Moab for that part, so we'll be closer to Arches. After that, we head back into CO and should be spending a day to check out Mesa Verde NP. We then head east to Great Sand Dunes NP, but we're going to try and pop into Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP on the way so the kids can get their books stamped and we can take a quick look. The next couple of nights will be near Browns Canyon NM so we can go whitewater rafting and relax in the hot springs. If there's time, we may even drive into Aspen for an evening since we'll be close. After that, we're driving back to Denver and I'm looking to take the route that goes past Pikes Peak. Once back in Denver, we're going to stay on the outskirts for our last night since we want to try and go to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. We have a fairly late flight out on our last day, so it should give us some time in the morning to explore and hopefully see the bison.

Wow, that sounds like an action-packed vacation. The ghost tour sounds like a lot of fun! I've always wanted to try whitewater rafting, too. I hope you do a TR. :)

So, I worked out on Monday because I was planning on yesterday as a break day. I got in a run on Monday...a little over 5k...and I beat my previous best 5k time. I rested a bit when I got home and then hit the gym. I was feeling ridiculously tired. I biked for about 20 minutes at my standard speed, but dropped to cool down speed for 3 min and was just done. I tried doing legs, but again...done. I think I got through two sets before saying no. I thought maybe I'd make up for it in abs, but I went through my normal weekday round and was just done there too. Nothing in the tank left to do my ending walk on the treadmill or even the climber. I thought maybe this was just my body telling me it was tired from all of the travel and nerves, but no...

So, on the last night that hubby and the kids were in Louisiana, my older one told me she was having really bad stomach pains. She ended up getting sick...multiple times...even after they got home on Sunday afternoon. Nobody else was sick, so we thought it might be heat, eating too much, or food poisoning. Mid-afternoon Monday, my husband came home early. I thought it was just because of some people coming by for house stuff, but now he was sick. They both had crawfish on Saturday, so there was still some hope that this was food poisoning. About 4am Tuesday morning, I woke up with horrible stomach pain. I got sick a few hours later and had a fever all day. By mid afternoon, the younger one got sick. We're all doing much better today, but I guess that's why my body had enough of the working out on Monday. I'm going to take it easy today since my stomach is still cramping a bit.

Ugh. I hope you're all doing better. I hate that feeling when someone gets sick and you're hoping that it's something they ate. Then you see other people getting sick and you're waiting for the shoe to drop.

I got food poisoning at my MIL's last summer. She made us this nice grilled chicken dinner the day we arrived. I noticed while I was eating, the chicken was not cooked though. I woke up the next morning with cold, sweaty chills and was violently ill. That part went by quickly, but it was weeks before I could eat normally again. Anything I ate gave me horrible cramps, but I would get so hungry. My husband ordered a meat thermometer for my MIL after that happened. 🤣

That's a crime against nature. The only thing that's worse to put on pizza is corn. They do that in the UK. 🤢

Good morning--

I did a lower body workout today. A quick, but intense one. I had to pause a bit here and there. I think I need a fan where I workout, because this part of the house was so soupy this morning. Anyway, it was over quickly, which is what I am all about these days! :) I am getting out for a walk shortly, while the sun isn't so intense.

I weigh myself on Fridays and I totally expect myself to be up a few pounds tomorrow. This always happens when there's a few days of hot, muggy weather. It is what it is. :)

Pineapple on pizza has been a topic at work of late. Crime against pizza IMO! I can't even eat any of that anymore, but it's still wrong :happy:

I'm excited and yet I don't feel like I've really planned for any of this. Of course, that's not the case, but I think Disney trip planning has made me feel under-prepared when going into trips where I don't plan out every bit in advance. I think the ghost tour would be a lot of fun, but my older one is a bit skittish with this stuff, so I'm still on the fence about booking. Personally, I've always found Stephen King books to be a lot of fun, so to tour the hotel that provided the inspiration for The Shining is right up my alley. Whitewater rafting has been on my husband's wish list for a while. I'll admit that it makes me a bit nervous, but so does horseback riding! 😂 I will probably do a TR. School here starts on Aug 12th, so a TR should help me stay sane in the chaos!

I feel awful for wishing it was food poisoning, because in the grand scheme of things, that's worse than a stomach bug. Still, it's awful when you have a bug that goes through everyone in the house.

Yeah, chicken is one of those meats that you really want fully cooked. LOL on the meat thermometer! I wonder if she uses it. I have friends who cringe that I like most things rare, but chicken is an entirely different ball game. I got food poisoning in Las Vegas back in 2007...pretty sure it came from a burger I ate at the Rio. We'd gone to see Penn and Teller and just wanted an easy meal...a meal I'd regret! Like you, it was weeks before I was back to normal. The whole thing was just so mentally traumatizing. We had this anniversary trip planned 6 months out and my MIL was supposed to watch our older one, who was an infant at the time. She flaked out on us about a month out, so we took our baby to Vegas on our anniversary trip. My parents decided to meet us in Vegas to watch her on our anniversary, just so we could have at least one baby-free night. I treated them to Cirque du Soliel Mystere tickets the following night as a thank you. The day after our anniversary night, we spent the morning and early afternoon walking around, but I was getting those nasty chills and sweats on our way back to our hotel. I just figured I was tired. So, I went back to the room to nap with the baby, while my husband went to the casino and my parents went to dinner and the show. The extreme stomach pains started kicking in about 45 min later and it wasn't long before I became violently ill. I didn't want to disturb my parents during the show, my husband couldn't hear his phone on the casino floor, and the casino wasn't overly helpful with telling him to go back to the room. So, I was stuck in this beautiful marble and stone bathroom...repeatedly getting sick...while also trying to entertain an 11 month old. Thankfully, she wasn't mobile, so I was able to put her in the big soaker tub after her nap and line up a bunch of toys, snacks and a bottle. I wasn't 100% when it was time to fly home, so that was a stressful as well.
