As most of you all know, Meredith and I love to travel and we are not scared to do the touristy things at all. Our trip to Colorado was wonderful. We mostly stayed in the Cherry Creek and LoDo districts in Denver which was great. The one thing I knew I had to do while in the the Rockies was to take a tour of the largest one sight brewery in the world (Coors). The tour was great, but the ending was the best - free samples. Then on Saturday, we decided to take a little road trip down to Colorado Springs where we toured ~ Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods and all the little towns around that area. We even ate at a restaurant in Old Colorado Town in which the owner graduated from Auburn. Small World. On Sunday, we drove to Boulder and walked around the town. Then, we hiked around Eldorado Canyon Park, toured Red Rocks Amphitheather, and drove to the top of Lookout Mountain. The weather wasn't great but we still had a blast.

We are in Denver, Colorado! Meredith had to come to Denver for a work trip and we decided that I should tag along and make it a mini-vacation. The day started at 4 a.m. at the Huntsville international airport, so needless to say it has been a long but great day. Once we arrived in Denver, we met up with Brittney (who we have been meaning to visit for years) and went to a really unique Mongolian restaurant. (http://www.gomongo.com/).It was so good! Then we went to Brittney's studio where she teaches art classes and sells her own pottery line. You can check her out at http://www.canvasandcocktails.com/ and http://www.brittneycate.com/. And last but not least, we must mention our hotel. It is wonderful. It has a full kitchen and we even had spaghetti and local beverages at the managers dinner. Stay tuned for more on our Denver adventure.

If you've ever heard me describe our house, I always tell you about my favorite feature of our house "The Bog". Ok it's a Federally Protected Wetland, but bog sound so much cooler. I love to look out and see all the wildlife from our screened in porch, but within these past 2 years I have acquired a little nemesis ~ Bucky the Beaver. He built a 35-40 ft long beaver dam directly behind our house which has started flooding my yard (the waterline is usually behind those trees!!). Yes, I was so excited about the novelty of having beavers in our backyard but when the flooding came the excitement faded. It's war! As you can see in the video, it is pouring rain and I am hard at work on the dam. After doing some research on the internet, I think I have found a way for Bucky and the Horne Family to live peacefully in Monrovia. I just have to construct a little system to keep the water flowing. Stay tuned..............
