I potentially have so much to share, but all that must wait. For now, lets talk more about Denver and how much I liked it.
Yes, I know you dont like suspence, but I will tell you when the time is right.
ok fine. FINE. We painted the kitchen and I got a new job. There, you forced it out of me. Back to Denver.
So, Denver. Its rather pretty, in the neighborhoods near downtown. See?
If the winters werent so brutal I would add the city to my list of Cities I Could Live In. But I dont do cold, so it is not making the list. The one thing I that could make me reconsider living there are the breakfasts we had. Yes, I take breakfast that seriously. On the morning of our second day we went to the Denver Biscuit Co for some enormous and tasty biscuits.
Coloring ensued.
All under the watchful eye of the cowboy vs. alien mural. I loved it, and felt inspiration for a next birthday party.
Menu was awesome. How I love you, breakfast food!
With our bellies way bigger than they need to be, we went to Red Rocks Amphitheater. Its a concert venue and state park with trails, etc. I donned the ankle brace and decided to go for it.
Our first mini hike was up the ramp and thousand + (felt like it) stairs to see the actual concert venue.
Lots of stops to admire the view and catch our breath. The altitude alone would make a healthy person huff and puff, and the broken ankle has rendered me into an out of shape fattie, so needless to say, I needed the breaks.
Hello, handsome fella.
And rockstar.
Finally we reached the amphitheater.
After taking a quick look, naturally someone had to use the bathroom, so one parent stayed (me, of course. thank you bad ankle for giving me the excuse to stay!) and the other had to haul a kid about to poop in his pants down hundreds of stairs. Ah. Just keeping it real, this is what its like to travel with kids.
Poop break was over, and we went on a real trail. Short and easy and with spectacular views.
This outting exhausted us and we napped like champs!
