Pop came in and woke us up at one thirty this morning. We hurried so we were ready before two. The car was waiting for us. It was an open touring with the top down. We couldn’t see anything going up but it got colder and colder, until my coat felt as thin as paper. We got up about four and it was just getting light in the east. We found the temperature was 24, eight below freezing. There weren’t many clouds but it was a beautiful sunrise anyway. There was a lodge at the top with a lunch counter and souvenir shop. We started back at about five. It was warmer coming down but not much. We saw a lot of beautiful scenery and views. We started for Denver at about eight and got to Boulder (36 miles on the other side of Denver) about 12:30. We could find Mom’s cousins. We we had lunch and then went to call on Bob Zing’s parents and expected to find Mable but she wasn’t there. We got back to Denver about five fifteen and put up at the Auditorium Hotel. We called up Mable at the YWCA and invited her over. She came and we visited until supper and during supper and she stayed until nine fifteen and believe me I’m sleepy after getting up at 1:30.
Jane's Notes: I gather from the diary entry the previous day that this was a trip up Pike's Peak. I don't now who the cousin might be in Boulder. Any ideas's Emilie? And who is Mable?
