Denver Road Trip

Chris and I took a little road trip to Colorado a fews weeks ago. We drove my bosses truck, along with his hunting gear, to Denver where he has a home (he was flying in from Atlanta and needed his stuff!) So we voluneteered to drive his truck out and then took a few days of vacation before flying home. I have never been to Denver so it was a fun little getaway.

Just me and Perk! The girls stayed home with Uncle Mike!

Who knew Colorado was so flat!
Scary sign at an even scarier trucker stop!I kind of like his sassy look here!
DENVER!

We hung out a lot on the Sixteenth Street Mall since we stayed at a hotel downtown.

There was lots of shopping and tons of restaurants.

I had to laugh when a girlfriend of mine asked "why on earth would you go to the zoo if you're not taking your kids?"

Chris and I really enjoy getting out and seeing this type of stuff. Plus the Hogle Zoo is pathetic, so anytime we get a chance to see a "real zoo", we're up for it.

And just like San Diego, the Denver Zoo puts Hogle to shame!

This is the back of the bathroom stall!

If this is the back, guess what's on the front?!We got to watch a 50yr old Hippo get his teeth cleaned.The next day we hit the Denver Aquarium. Before we left for the airport on Wednesday, we met up with my friend Skip who works right in downtown for lunch. I've known Skip for more than 10 years and his words "shit or get off the pot" were the words that really stuck with me when I was quitting smoking 9 years ago!

Love ya Skippy!

Alright. The REAL reason we went to Denver!
