On Sunday we slept in (by our standards which meant sleeping
past 7 AM). We then grabbed coffee and
bagels and enjoyed a leisurely start to the morning. After packing up we set out for Morrison, CO
to see the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. It is
on my bucket list to see a show there but since the timing didn’t work out to
see a concert there I settled for a walking tour of it for this trip. Sometimes a place gets hyped up in your head
and it doesn’t live up to expectations.
Red Rocks was not like that. It
was absolutely beautiful in person. The
red rocks against the white clouds and blue sky was a stunning
combination. During the day a lot of
locals go there to take yoga classes and do boot camp style workouts so there
were lots of people at the park and it was fun to see the park in a more
natural every day sense. The view
definitely confirmed my desire to go back for a show! For now I’ll just have to settle for watching
our Incubus at Red Rocks DVD again.
After Morrison we tried unsuccessfully to find the walking
trails for Dinosaur Park thanks to GPS issues but settled to head straight for
Golden. In Golden we took the famous
Coors brewery tour. It was a lot of fun
and the facility was massive. We met a
lovely family from the area and they gave us some great suggestions for
restaurants and activities during our trip!
After Golden we headed to our condo for the week in
Vail. We only made one other stop at a
highly recommended pizza place called Beau Jeau’s. They make their own crust with honey in it
and cook their pizzas in a wood fire grill.
Then they have honey on the table to drizzle on the crust and it was so
delicious! The food was excellent and
definitely lived up to the hype. I’m
hopeful that maybe one day they will franchise further out so we can have the
chance to eat there again.
