Denver 2010


I recently went to Denver to visit miss Kali Harris, best friend that lives way too far away! I had a great time thanks to her and her awesome family.

To some (mainly the male gender), it may not have been a desirable vacation, but when you love to shop, converse over yogurt (every day), and lay by the pool, it was perfect!
On the shopping log, we hit Pearl St. in Boulder, Cherry Creek, Park Meadows, 16th St. Mall and a few small shops along the way. Luckily, every store was getting ready for fall so there were some great deals which meant we got a lot more bang for our buck and there were many bucks spent.


We did throw some culture in there by spending one day at the Denver Art Museum viewing the King Tut exhibit and the more permanent exhibits at the museum. It was quite amazing and very well preserved. Some of the stuff in the other exhibits was just odd, but I guess all art can't be to my liking. In keeping with the trip standard, the day was finished with yogurt and shopping.


We did spend an unforgettable evening at Casa Bonita (the disneyland of mexican restaurants). Not unforgettable because it was fabulous, but because it was so unreal that people actually go there. The food was served cafeteria style (we carried our own trays), looked terrible, and tasted worse. We were entertained by cliff divers, mariachi, and a man in a gorilla suit (since when did mexican = gorilla?). We went for an experience, and it definitely was "an experience."

Another non-shopping activity was a Sunday drive (with Kali's sister Kayce and her best friend Brittany) in the mountains followed by a short walk around a lake. It was so pretty and relaxing!

All in all, it was a great extended weekend and I was so so so happy to see Kali!. I miss her way too much and think she needs to move back already:)
