Day Trips

Such a blast this past weekend. Justin and I have finally synchronized our days off (only took 6 months) and we have Sundays and Mondays together until the end of July. I plan to fill all of those days with fun little day trips that will complete my experience here in Colorado.

This past weekend started on Friday when we went to a friend's wedding. The small, personal chapel was just short of the front range, with the altar and windows overlooking the massive rockies. What a place to exchange your vows. The reception followed with an open bar. Met lots of cool people.

This Sunday we went to Six Flags Elitch Gardens. We rode everything from the tidal wave log flume to the ferris wheel to the old-school white wooden roller coaster. I ate way too much junk food and had a fantastic time.

Monday involved the Denver zoo and one of my favorite pastimes, margaritas the size of your head! I almost got peed on by a tiger at the zoo... and then a polar bear. We went to the Morrison Inn afterward, a little mexican cantina just short of Evergreen on the front range, and had the gigantic margaritas with a couple friends. (These head-sized margaritas still paled in comparison to the liquor pitchers at the cafe however)

Trips to come: Red Rocks winery, whitewater rafting, camping, Museum, Center City, sand dunes, Mt. Elbert, Pikes Peak, et al.
