Hey friends! I am finally home and settled after a weeks vacation. I finally feel back on top and where I need to be in order to post. I did do my WILW but it felt really last minute and thrown together because I had just gotten home and wanted to get that done.
I didn't know if I was going to post all of the photos here or all of the videos, so I bring you the best of both worlds. I have made a compilation video of all of the videos and photos that you can watch and here I will be posting some of my favorite videos.
For some reason, the only thing I cannot post is the video footage from my phone! It was while we were at an arcade bar called the 1UP and it was a ton of fun. I have a part two (day 3&4) that I will probably start working on tomorrow and if I can will add the 1UP footage and few pictures to it.
The first day was exhausting. We stopped at Five Guys Burgers and Fries (45 ish minutes north of where we live in Colorado Springs) where neither of us have ever been and I was really impressed with the food. It was excellent except that I would have loved to have a medium rare burger. Oh well, still a very good experience.
When we got to Denver we spent the day walking the 16th Street Mall which is a mile long outdoor mall. I spent way too much money of course. Around 7 we had dinner at Tokyo Joe's which we have both had before and I had a salad with mango in it and he had some sort of bowl and we shared some sushi. We really didn't do anything that night since we were both exhausted, so we found a liquor store and had some drinks in our hotel.
The second day we went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science which was really fun. We literally stayed there until the last minute. They had so much to look at and we got to see and IMAX film about Great White Sharks and a Planetarium display all about Black Holes which was actually narrated by Liam Neeson. I learned a lot and we were scrambling to grab a few goodies at the gift shop. Naturally, for dinner we stopped at a restaurant neither of us have been to called Rubio's which has really good tacos. I had shrimp. Later that night is when we went to the arcade bar called the 1UP. It was a lot of fun and Josh got to drink and we both play assorted pinball machines, Pacman, and Galaga (which is one of my favorites). I drove us home since I had only had one drink the entire night of which I didn't know cost $10!
I'll save the mystery and suspense of days 3 and 4 for the next post. As promised here are some of my favorite pictures from this trip!
