Five over the Weekend - With Rachelle

Rachelle came to visit this past weekend....

5 things we did:

1. Coors Brewery Tour... kind of speaks for itself.

2. Downtown Denver.... We hit up Fado's (a huge Irish pub) and watched the ball game let out, spilling people all over downtown. After a yummy Boxty appetizer and a few drinks we walked to Cowboy Lounge for some good 'ol country music - where they mostly played club hip hop stuff.. despite several attempts we ended up with only this one good picture up my nose..

3. Breckenridge - Rachelle talked me into a very brave adventurous mountain bike trip down Peak 8 Fun Park.... for being a scaredy cat and not very experienced on a bike... I actually had a really good time. By the end of the hour ride, I was feeling pretty comfortable on the bike, I'm actually willing to try it again. Although, next time I'll be more prepared attire wise. Rachelle and Sam both decided this look was far too preppy Buffy for me... I just didn't have anywhere else to put my sweatshirt - ha :)

4. Pearl Street Mall... Dinner at the Med - MY FAVORITE.... and a quick walk down Pearl Street mall to watch the street performers. This guy juggled torches on a 20 foot unicycle; and finished his show my flipping his hat off of his head, catching it with his foot and flipping it back on his head with his foot... while on the unicycle... and I think my job is exciting sometimes?
5. Tubing down Boulder Creek. The temperature over the weekend was in the high 80's... so we opted Sunday for a tube ride down Boulder Creek... unbeknownst to us, it is late in the season for such fun.. the creek was especially low, which meant a lot of bottoming out and walking in between dry spots. Just the same we had an awesome time. We even encountered a deer drinking from the stream; he was clearly not afraid of us, and started to walk up the hill towards us. Sam scared him back down to keep him safe from the busy street behind us.
