Company from Atlanta

Two weekends ago we had company from Atlanta out to see Colorado for the very first time. I didn't realize how much pressure it would be to pick the activities for her visit. We've had family and friends out many times, but it's been easy to find the plans knowing their interests, and more importantly knowing that they will be back to see more the next time. But when you know you may only have one shot to impress someone and talk them into loving it - wow, that's pressure. What I realized after 2 days touring her around: This place sells itself.

Saturday we drove to Georgetown to take the Georgetown Railroad Loop, and Mine Tour. The Aspen were in full fall mode - absolutely unreal! We met up with Sam for dinner in Boulder at The Med; and some sight seeing on Pearl Street Mall - it was still warm enough that most of the street performers were still performing.

Sunday we ate at our favorite Boulder breakfast hotspot - Lucilles. It's a small victorian house that serves the best cajun creole breakfast ever! We made a pit stop at Anderson Farms for Sam and Rochelle to walk the corn maze; and then headed to downtown Denver for a cruiser ride. We started at the REI parking lot, rode along the South Platte river for a while, peddaled around the capital building, the art museum, and city park.
