I haven't blogged in awhile because we have been busy!! One fun thing we did was we went into town last week for a Goodbye Party for our friend Timmy. He's going to be traveling the world for 3 months or so, and he had a Happy Hour goodbye party at our favorite bar in town (Good Dog). I didn't take any pictures of the festivities, but I did take a few pictures of City Hall while we were walking in the city!
City Hall! This is when we were walking to the bar from the train station!
And this is City Hall again when we were walking back to the train station at the end of the evening! This is by far my favorite building in the city. It's so pretty.
Everything else is going well! We had to take Guinness to the vet for some immunization boosters, and he's super healthy and doing well (and still likes to sit like a person sometimes!)
We had our Fantasy Football draft last night, and I'm hoping my team is decent this year so I don't get last place AGAIN and get the loser trophy AGAIN. I always forget to explain that squirrel head trophy to people that are coming to our house for the first time, so people probably think we want to have that squirrel head by our front door...
Other than that, just general house maintenance stuff and a few projects (but nothing that would be exciting for me to take a picture of...), and we're getting SO excited for our trip to Colorado in a few weeks!! I can't believe it's finally almost here - We've been planning this one for over a year! I'll do a quick summary, though this post is now going to be crazy long (sorry!!).
We're flying into Denver, and we're going to spend a few days there. We plan to visit a few breweries (Breckenridge Brewery, Great Divide Brewery, and MAYBE Coors if we have time). We also want to spend lots of time exploring the city and we also might go check out Red Rocks Amphitheater even though there aren't any good shows while we're there! Oh and we found an awesome B&B to stay in while we're there! It's a big ol' mansion with a ton of history:
After Denver we're heading to Boulder for a few days, and we're staying in a cool place we found on Airbnb, and it's a cute little house right off of Pearl Street, which is where all the cool shops, restaurants, bars, etc are! So that'll be convenient. There are a few cool hikes just outside of Boulder, so we plan on doing those hikes while we're there. And Boulder is also the home of the Celestial Seasonings Factory, which I'm SO excited about!! I'm a big fan of their teas. It should be a fun tour, and I've heard they have a Mint Room that spells amaaazing. And there's also an awesome brewery in Boulder that we'll check out (Avery Brewing).
After Boulder, we're heading up to Rocky Mountain National Park!! I'm so beyond excited!! We found a cool campground in the park where they said you have awesome views and there's tons of wildlife. They said that the elk love the area by the campground and they have a very loud call (it's called bugling) that wakes you up every morning! I'm so excited to hear it :) We have tons of fun hikes planned, and we're going to explore like crazy for 3 days.
A bull elk bugling!! I'm so excited!
And after we have camped for a few nights there, we're heading just outside the park to The Stanley Hotel. It's the hotel that inspired The Shining (by Stephen King), and it's SO beautiful (and supposedly quite haunted). We're going on a few tours at the hotel, but we're also just going to spend lots of time relaxing and having fun. It's in a really beautiful area of Colorado (Estes Park).
The Stanley Hotel!
That's our trip!! We're soooo beyond excited!!
