Last week Travis and I went to visit one of my best friends from high school, Aubryn, and her husband Adam. We had a great time Friday night because she hosted a party so that we would be able to meet all her wonderful Denver friends. Saturday we dined on yummy mussels and mimosas for brunch and then shoped around the downtown area. We also went to a wonderful “celebrity” filled Saturday dinner. Sunday was spent driving up Mt. Evans…(a fourteener you mountain folk). It was beautiful at the top and I really enjoyed hiking around different parts of the mountain (though the altitude did get to me at some spots).
Mimosas and Screwdrivers at 7:00 am….I was relaxed on the flight.

Aubs and Adam on Mt Evans. We stopped at a few different places to take pictures on the way up the mountain.
The view from the top!
It was chilly but not as bad as it looks. The view was just AMAZING!
All the way up and down the mountain the sights were just great.
Our model husbands on the way to dinner on Saturday. We saw Clinton Kelly from What Not to Wear and Kyle Orton, the old QB from Chicago.
Travis and I….downtown Denver in the back
“Jazz in the park” on Sunday. We packed a picnic dinner and enjoyed the live music
Our wonderful hosts!
Monday we flew out of Denver and into Phoenix where we stayed with our friends Marty and his fiance Rhianon. When we got there we went tubing down salt river (tubing = no camera) and really enjoyed relaxing and taking in the Phoenix landscape. Later that night I was able to go to dinner with one of my oldest friends Patrice. We were so busy catching up we forgot to take a picture!! On Tuesday we went hiking around Popago park. This was located near Camel back Mountain. The view was great from on top of the rocks. Tuesday night we went out for some great Mexican food and Travis ALSO decided that he needed to accept the challenge from his CDW friends and ate a 5×5 from In and Out burger….yes people 5 - 1/4lb burgers on one bun and 5 pieces of cheese….it looked really gross but it was no contest for my husband. I really think that he could have a career in competitive eating!

Marty where are you?
We were able to see a great view of Phoenix from the top of the rocks.
That is one big cactus!
Both places we visited were wonderful and I really appreciated the hospitality of the Glods and soon to be Mr and Mrs. Buns.
