Denver, Colorado
After our visit with Matt's family in Salt Lake City, we ventured on to Colorado to visit our dear friends Amy & Tom Tanis and Janelle Behan. It snowed almost the whole time we were in Colorado except for the last day. It was beautiful to watch the snow fall. The roads were not plowed well and Matt and I kept joking about their plowing abilities.
Both Amy and Tom had to work on Thursday so Matt and I relaxed by ourselves. We watched all the Seinfeld episodes Amy had Tivo'ed and worked out at Tom's gym, Colorado Athletic Club. We also tried making coffee on Tom's new coffee pot, but somehow messed up the proportions and ended up with some STRONG coffee. :) So we went out to Starbucks and got cappuccino instead.
While we were laying on the couch napping and watching TV, Chai and Ash, Tom and Amy's cats, were also taking a nap. The life of a cat is pretty good huh? Don't they look so comfy?
After picking up Tom from work on Wednesday, he took us to see Red Rocks. I had always heard about this area plus I knew that Dave Matthews had played "Live at Red Rocks," but never seen it. It was really beautiful. To get up to the top we had to climb the seats (stadiums!!) in the snow! It was rather slippery and icy, but a fun adventure. Here are some of the pictures from Red Rocks. We made it to the top just as the sun was going down.
After climbing Red Rocks we went out to dinner. We wanted to make sure to eat at P.F Chang's, my favorite restaurant, while in Denver. I think the Denver Changs has the coolest design of all the other Changs. The entire restaurant is made up of giant windows with a gorgeous patio and the ceiling is made of wood beams.
On Thursday Amy came home from work sick, but still made time to make her famous caramel corn with me. It was yummy!
Thursday night Matt and I went to visit Janelle, her husband, Kris and brother, Sean. We went out to eat and caught up on life as well as laughed about old times. It was a mini Circle "A" reunion.
Janelle is due January 3rd and expecting a little boy, Brooks.
Matt and Tom enjoyed some beer together.
On Friday, Matt and Tom went snowboarding. I decided to stay home and sleep in. Amy ended up staying home from work because she was sick. We hung out all day while the boys boarded at Arapahoe Basin. Here are some pictures from the mountain. Isn't it gorgeous?
Here is Tom pretending to break his collar bone again. Real funny Tom!
Here is the Continental Divide.
We had a great time visiting Tom and Amy. Eventhough we had not seen them for 6 months we picked up right where we left off. They are such great friends and can't wait until we see them again.
