today, Michelle, Tori,
Cristi and i headed out for Colorado Springs for a
three day trip to meet our Colorado counterparts!
the flight was a little hairy. we got about ten feet above the runway when the pilot pulled back up because it was too icy to land. we flew around for 45 minutes while they somehow de-iced the runway. (i’m not sure what this consists of. i picture hundreds of men out there scraping away at the tarmac with giant ice-scrapers.)
then, after we landed, Michelle broke her heel while we were getting the rental car. (really, Michelle? high heels in the snow?)
so, by the time we got on the road, we were already running late (because of the 45 minutes extra in the air) and we were really hungry! so, we decided that even though we had meetings to go to, our stomachs had to come first. we found a Chili’s that had a Kohl’s in the same parking lot and we got lunch and new shoes for Michelle all in one stop.
and then it was on to the David C. Cook fortress (it’s seriously this intimidating looking building that can only be described as a fortress).
when we got there, we were welcomed by Janet and Leigh and the entire company. (we were kinda treated like celebrities. i think it’s the California thing.) we had a meeting or two and headed off to a great dinner.
more tomorrow!
oh... when we were getting a tour of the DCC building, we saw this and thought it was pretty cool. (minus the unfortunate location of the fire alarm.)
