& our first road trip

On New Years Morning, Glen, my mom, Noah, David and I jumped in the club MDX heading for Denver! Things were going smoothly until we hit the Vail area, not only did we hit skiing traffic, we hit a huge snow storm and were delayed 4 HOURS!!

When we finally got to downtown Denver, Dave and I went out to find some fun, since it was our only night in the big city! :) We were walking distance from 16th street mall in LoDo. Our first stop was Coyote Ugly, and as we were walking in this interesting man bought us our first round..

We had a blast for a little bit and then we ventured down 16th street until something caught our fancy..
We decided to walk into Appaloosa Grill where we enjoyed a sweet live band and some other local brews.

We only stayed for a couple since we were completely pooped from the NYE, and the long drive. 

Then next morning we had some amazing breakfast at Sam's #3, one of my families favorite place to eat in Denver. 

 

[isn't he stunning?]

After breakfast we headed out on another mini road trip to our family's good-friend's house in the middle of beautiful nowhere [aka Conifer]. On the way up, David, Noah and I had downloaded "Evil Apples" (a lot like cards against humanity but iPhone edition) and were dying laughing on the way up.. One of the best moments in the car is when my poor little innocent brother asks my mom: "Mom, whats a pink?" 

The views at their house were amaaaaazing!! We stocked up on local brews we've never had, and my mom bought us some Jameson since it was on sale. [LOL]

 

Our first night with them, Chrystal had cooked us a scrumptious dinner and after we played mexican train from double 12, all the way to double zero!!

We only traveled into a little city once the rest of the trip [One World Cafe for some AMAZING brunch and bloodies.]

The rest of the trip was a wonderful relaxing weekend with some breathtaking views, brews and my favorite people.
