Downtown Denver

We had a lot of time to kill on Sunday before the wedding, so we headed downtown and went to the aquarium. Who doesn't like to look at fish? Salt Lake only has this dinky little aquarium that is in an old grocery store. Obviously it doesn't look like a grocery store inside but the outside is not ideal if you know what I mean... anyways. Brady had never seen a seahorse before or touched a starfish or anything of that sort so it was really fun. 

 All that was showing of that fish was his head, I honestly thought it was fake but nope!

 Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam...

 300 days of sunshine a year? Is that a promise?

Unfortunately lunch took a lot longer than anticipated so we didn't have much time left to explore downtown as much as I would have liked. Next time! Now here's a few iPhotos from the wedding!

wine in hand, of course.

yet another gorgeous view.

All of the tables were assigned by different ski resorts. My aunt and uncle used to own a house in Steamboat Springs, CO. It's where I first learned to ski and although I don't remember much of it because I was so little, I always loved visiting them there. Until next time, Colorado and a big congratulations to Steven and Sophie!

Have a great Thursday!

Weekend in Denver

Hello! Sorry I have been MIA lately. With school starting, apartment hunting, and everything in-between, things have been kind of crazy. Labor day weekend I took a trip out to Denver to attend my Cousins wedding. I've only been to Denver one other time and I loved it the first time and just as much the second time. Here are a few snaps from my trip!

We drove up to Mt Evans, known as the "Highest paved road in North America", aka one of the scariest paved roads in North America. The road is literally (yes, literally) crumbling off the edge in some spots but look at that view!

Unfortunately we did not see any mountain goats like I was hoping, maybe next time.

Note to self: bring a sweatshirt at 14,000ft. Doesn't look like it but I am freezing in this photo.

 

It really is gorgeous from 14,000 feet!

 These photos are about halfwaydown the mountain, stunning views!

Now the most exciting part of the day, the Miller Coors Brewery in Golden, CO.

I have to admit, the actual brewery tour was a little lackluster. It could have been because they were working on the machines or something but there wasn't a lot going on. 

But...you get FREE beer! Two of these to be exact (and a little half cup serving halfway through)

 Who doesn't love free beer? (they even have non-alcoholic Coors for my Utah friends ;)

Hope you have a great Tuesday!
