Finally Friday

Finally Friday and we went for tea and crumpets and I feel like I am home again.  I’m just starting to settle back into the routine, I have to admit that coming back to work was difficult.  The trip to Colorado was great.  We had so much fun!

We do so many things over the trip, I don’t know if I can remember them all. 

It all started off with my Grandparent’s 60th wedding anniversary.  Freeman met “the rest” of the family and helped to set up for the party.  He was such a good sport about it all, even at over 8,000 feet.  Pretty good for a guy who has never been in the Colorado Rockies.  He did get a little altitude sickness, poor guy, but he made it through.  We came down from the mountains on Sunday and stopped by Red Rocks Amphitheater before going to my friend’s house.
Then I treated him to the worst meal of his life!  On purpose!  I had gotten a wild idea to take Freeman to Casa Bonita – the world’s worst Mexican restaurant with the wildest atmosphere.  Really, it’s like a Mexican Disney Land, only without the rides.  The food is horrid and the service is bad, but you get to see cliff divers!  It was hot and humid and we didn’t stay that long.  I loved it though, he honestly didn’t believe him when I told him it would be the worse meal he had ever eaten (or close to it.) He believes me now!

During out trip we went to 7 breweries.  We went on 4 tours.  It was exactly what Freeman wanted to do.  Here’s the list:
Flying Dog
Great Divide
Breckenridge
New Belgium
O’Dell
The Pump House
Coors

He wasn’t sure about going to Coors, but then decided we would at the end of the week.  I think we had to work our way up to it.  It was pretty fun once we got there.  The tour was very sterile, especially compared to the micro-brew tours we went on.  But it was fun to drink a Zima Icee! 

Now we’re back and I’m hip deep in wedding planning again.  84 days!
