Our Trip to Colorado...

So the trip to Colorado was close to perfect, with a missed flight and an overnight stay in a Texas hotel (with holes in the sheets, yes I climbed into bed and my toe slid into a hole. ew) I was in need of a total care free trip. I finally arrived in CO on Friday morning, and Dom picked me up from the airport. Before we did anything we both NEEDED breakfast.  Once our bellies were full we stopped at the hotel so I could brush my teeth and shower- My luggage arrived in Denver before I did, and my night in the Texas hotel was not very accommodating because all of my carry on baggage had to be checked in Philadelphia at the gate. Once I felt clean and peppy we headed to Boulder, Co for shopping on Pearle Street and hiking on The Rockies. Check out the pics!

 

After we explored all that Boulder had to offer, we headed back to the hotel for dinner and an early night. We both only got a few hours of sleep the night before and we needed to rest because we had a fun filled Saturday ahead of us. We were up super early the next morning and went out for a delicious breakfast at a tiny cafe, then headed out for the city.

Once in Denver we explored 16th street shopping and just enjoyed the city life. We found a restaurant with bison burgers, beer and Penn state football! We had a great time here with the familiar lions playing on the big screen.

After a few hours in Denver, with snow, ice and wind, we decided to take a ride out to Red Rock. We wanted to explore the natural beauty and the amazing amphitheatre. What a place this was!! we were impressed by the size of the venue (it seated a lot less then we expected), but the backdrop of the seating was breathtaking. The red rocks are backed by beautiful green foliage and mountains. I think we both added something to our bucket list- see a live show at Red Rock.  This place is a "must see" in Colorado.

 

 

So this is it. The trip to Colorado was fantastic. With the minor (when i say minor I really mean major headache at the time) hiccups from my airline the trip was a INCREDIBLE. Dom and I couldn't have had a better time together in "colorful Colorado". I cannot wait until the next time we go out west to visit!  xoxo
