So….here’s the update on life in CO on vacation. On Sunday I was invited out with Jackie & her mom to go see “The Devil Wears Parada”, as well as go to lunch. We went to a yummy mexican place, and then did some shopping before the movie. The movie was good, and a highy reccommended chick flick. They could have cut out the last 15-20 minutes, but what can you ask for from a chick flick! On Monday we went to one of the nicer malls in town, and shopped around. Then we came back, and lounged around our woderful host & hostesses home. On Tuesday we celebrated Brad’s birthday by going to Dave & Busters. It’s a video arcade with many bars inside. Afterwards we went over to the movie theater to go see The Pirates of the Carribean. It was an okay movie, kinda long, but many fine Johnny Depp sites were to be seen. Then we came home to go out for fish taco’s with our host’s, followed by an awesome dessert tray that had creame puffs, tiramisu, and some other yummy thing that was completely devowered. On Wednesday we went downtown and shopped along the 16th street mall. They have some really cute shops along the way, and it’s great excersize! We of course went to my favorite shop Breaking the Mold, and bought large amounts of awesome smelling candles. While down there we met Chris for lunch at one of the Brewerys on the strip. VERY yummy beer, and veggie burgers! Today we slept in late, what vacations are all about, and then headed out for some breakfast. Afterwards, we went to the Downtown Aquarium. It was very neat, and had some awesome tanks with some cool fish in it. We watched a few of the tanks get fed, and I was able to touch a horse shoe crab, as well as a couple of sting rays. We took a ton of pics, and some neat videos too. So be on the look out in the photo gallery as soon as we get home. Tomorrow we are going with Chris out to Golden, and Red Rocks, to do some touristing. Our plans include a Coors brewery tour, and lunch in Boulder. On Saturday we are VERY excited about going to Castle Rocks wine festival, to do some yummy tasting. I think on Sunday we are hitting a rather large dirt mall, and then we are planning on leaving on Monday towards MI. We don’t know if we’re gonna stay in St. Louis and do the SOuth route, or not, but it’s in our thinking plans right now. Clare is having fun with her Pa Pa & Buscia this week (aka Brad’s parentals), and this weekend she is headed to my parents until we come and get her. Moonshadow is with her too. Overall it’s been a relaxing vacation, and we can’t wait to get up into the mountain foot hills tomorrow. It’ll be a bummer to go home, but I guess Brad has to be to work on Thursday, and I have to return to Motherhood at some point. Til Nextime…
