COLORADO WEEKEND!

Friday morning flew into Denver; we were greeted with a big smile and hug from my oldest sister Bridget, always refreshing to see her. After we got the car loaded up, we headed to a nice breakfast in Denver. Called the squeaky bean, very cool place! Low key and simple. Then it was off to the Coors factory in beautiful Golden, CO! WOW, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. We all enjoyed ourselves, had our three free beers, and found out how they made their glorious beers. My favorite, as always, was the old school Coors light. Although, I did try winter fest ( :( ), Coors original, and the abbey ale ( :/ ). Great experience with some amazing people. From Golden, we headed up the mountain to Winter Park! We stopped for a bite to eat and water halfway up in Genesse, CO. And well...I'm not sure where to start...there was one convenient store, liquor store, restaurant, ski shop, and gas station. We decided we would eat at the restaurant. It was a very small
place where they served mainly German food. A VERY German older couple greeted us, began to tell us all about their famous bratwurst, they were homemade! I fell for it and got the bratwurst...........terrible idea, not only was the bratwurst bad, the beer was bad, and my total was 20!! As you could imagine, I was not happy. Then we hit up the liquor store and well. Things were looking up :) We began the rest of our journey to winter park. Got to the condo, and went out on the town. Had a great time with all the girls, and learned that I really enjoy tuwaca!!

Saturday morning came along, everyone was feeling a little under the weather, but we kept on going! OFF TO SNOWMOBILIN'!!  Having a bad back, I was quite nervous, big sis bridg and I decided we would make the adventure ssssslowwwwwwllllyyy. And when I say slowly, I mean slow! It was the most beautiful, breathtaking, adrenaline rushing adventure, ever. No word to describe the sights. It was so freaking cool. At the very top, you have the option to go to the continental divide or stay at the open fast area. Bridg and I really were not sure about going up this steep mountain side. But everyone else took off, and Bridget says to me, the driver, we will never be able to see this again ab! So we went, up the mountain side, to the top of the continental divide. Shocking, unbelievable, most incredible sight I have ever seen and I could not have done it without my sisters. It was so amazing. You have no idea till get the chance to try it.

After that long cold afternoon, we decided nap time, and a late dinner was in store. Then we all went to bed. Sunday morning we went to breakfast at rise and shine in winter park, and it was so good! Then we were off to the airport to drop of the first batch, then Lindsay, Emily, and myself went to stay at Bridget’s for the night!
It was an all-around great trip, we had so much fun!
