Tourists for a Day
Joey and I decided to leave our bubble of Arvada/Golden and head downtown on Saturday. We embarked on one of Historic Denver, Inc’s Story Treks through the Capital Hill area. At each stop on the route, we listened to a pre-recorded history of the appropriate landmark through our phones. It was a great way to learn more about the founding and establishment of Denver on your own time while enjoying an early spring day. While our trip was cut short due to hunger pains, Joey and I plan on exploring more of the Story Trek itineraries. Oh, hunger pains comforted by delicious late lunch at Cake Crumbs in the Park Hill neighborhood. I’m trying to find excuses to go back.
A Cold Spell accompanied by Parents (Related?)
My parents arrived on Monday for the week and with them, snow and freezing temps. Thanks. Their timing couldn’t have been worse, just missing the previous week’s glorious sunshine and warm temps, which would’ve been a tropical vacation compared to the wintery mix they’ve been receiving. Regardless of the weather, we’ve had a fun week. Tuesday, my mom and I braved the negative temperatures and went to Sur la Table, a specialty kitchen/home store, where I picked up a chocolate dipping set for cake balls plus other gadgets and she got a travel French press for Joey as a congratulations gift for getting his Professional Engineering license/certification. Wednesday, we went to Boulder then Broomfield, where at the Apple Store, she discovered she wanted an iPad. Your welcome, Dad. Rain, sleet, or snow will not stop the desire to shop!
We’ve managed to have a great time even though temperatures have been frigid. They’re expected to leave on Sunday, but may leave a day early. Did I mention snow is expected in Memphis this weekend? Irony. Ha.
