Juli and Zac sleeping on the plane. I guess traveling is no big deal for them.
We watched some mountain goats training for their big climb.
We walked or skated down the street to the Long Table Brewery. It's all fun and games until you try to rollar-blade after a few beers.
Tacos, quesedillas and taquitos at Illegal Petes.
Day 2
After breakfast at the Butcher Block we drove to Crested Butte to see Emerald Lake. It was a beautiful drive.
. The lake was still frozen so I wasn't very very emerald. We drove back to the town of Crested Butte for Dinner. We ordered pizza and drinks at Secret Stash Pizza. It was delicious. We walked around town, bought souveniers, ate ices cream and finished the night with a drink at The Dogwood.
Day 3
We got us early, had breakfast at the hotel and headed for Black Canyon National Park. We had to stop at the Blue Mesa Reservour to get pictures for the beautiful blue water. I wonder why no one is swimming?
The Black Canyon at Gunnison National Park was awesome. I've heard it said the "Nature is God's Art." He went above and beyond in Colorado. I was able to get my National Park Passport stamped. We took a couple of hikes, ate the leftover pizza and snacks for lunch. What a great place.
Do you see the dragon?
On our way back to Denver we stopped at Elevation Brewery. I had my first tamale from a food truck. It was delicious!
Day 4
Last day in Denver. We went to Pearl Street Farmers Market, then lunch at Olive and Finch. We went back to Teen's to do some "Porch Sitting."
Our plane was delayed for 4 hours and we finally got home at 5:00 AM. Good thing I made arrangements to get my class covered.
I'm glad to be able to spend time with family but I think we would all agree, it's nice to be home.
