Colorado
.sigh.
What a great trip. We flew into Denver on Wednesday night and had some Boston Market with Kevin and Amanda. It seems that we always eat there when go to Colorado. There isn't really anything spectacular about it, we just always go. Thursday Annie and I spent almost 5 hours at the sports authority loading up on clearance snowboaring gear. They had a massive tent filled with items up to 80% off. I got a new board, boots, bindings, pants, and a jacket. Annie got the same, sans the board (hers is not that old). Our whole plan was to get in and out of there, head to the REI flagship downtown and then spend a few good hours reading at Tattered Cover. Unfortunately, none of that really happened. We had just enough time to spend a few minutes at REI and head over to Spaghetti Factory to meet up with Alecia. After dinner, we walked around downtown a bit and then headed back to Kevin’s for some shut eye.
We met up with our friends Levi and Ashley on Friday at Breckenridge. Colorado has had an unusual season of snow. Early in the year they had record snowfall, but since February they have gotten very little. The only place we could find descent snow was on peak 7. Below is a little video I took of us (Annie and myself) heading down peak 9.
Saturday and Sunday were spent hanging out with Annie’s friends in the springs. The picture to the right was of Pikes Peak covered in clouds at sunset (props to Krishana and her mad photography skills). It was hard to come back. There is just something about that city. There is so much diversity and culture there. Christians, atheists, pagans, homeless, rich, democrats, republicans, straight, gay, whatever, are on every street corner. You can sit outside on the square downtown and see the whole city walk by you. All the stories, all the smells, all the sites. It’s hard to take it all in.
