Another guest has come and gone. Add another Colorado convert to the list.
My buddy Abby left today to spend some time with a friend in Houston before eventually heading back to the hot and humid swampland that is Florida aka my last home.
Ever since I'd moved here all she had heard me say was how pretty it was and how scenic and how nice everyone is. And no shocker here but she agreed on the way to the airport today that YES, it is pretty and scenic and nice and overall a great place to visit. Not sure if I have made a convincing argument to get her to move here, but it's a start.
Tried to fit as much fun as possible into her trip.
From RVT's on the deck Friday night to an action packed Saturday...Cabrini Shrine, Red Rocks, having Rosie and Kev meet us at The Yardhouse in Golden, then off to share Mango & Strawberry Margs with Andrew at The Rio in Boulder, hit up Pearl Street Mall, then back to Andrew's house to hang with him and his buddies Jeremy and Charlie while we watched the Rockies take the Phillies (Abby crashed on the carpet, a victim of Margs and Altitude). We even saw 5 good-sized bucks in Andrew's parking lot as we were leaving, which totally jazzed Abby to no end. She talked about it the whole way home.
After much sleeping in on Sunday, Denver Tour day two commenced with Brunch at Steubens (second home of the ROUS as well as best hashbrowns ever!) to tours of Wash Park, Uptown, Capitol Hill then over to Lo-Do. She loved the Tattered Cover as well as the FREE Mall Shuttle which we took to Pavillions (home of the Monkeys), Virgin Records, then wound up at ESPN Zone for the end of the Bronco's game and beginning of the Av's...which coincided nicely with a downpour outside.
Once the skies cleared, back outside for more Lo-Do walking, then tours of Highlands, Arvada (More wildlife sightings...this time Abby saw a fox!) and back home for more hockey on TV.
Monday was an abbreviated fun day since I had to work but we bolted as soon as I unplugged my (work) computer and headed out to Wash Park where Abby got to see geese for the very first time. She was like a kid in a candy store (or like me in an Apple store) and took tons of geese pix. Did a lake walk (around it, not on it) and marveled that we were even allowed in the park without having a dog or kid (or both!) to call our own. Seriously, what is up with all the strollers?
Dinner was Cherry Cricket (way yum) then more walking around Cherry Creek, followed by driving around Cherry Creek, followed by coming home to watch 'Munich' on DVD which didn't get too far seeing as the DVD was all goofed up and kept stopping.
And today she left. Sigh. Another friend gone. House empty. Very quiet in Kathyland tonite.
Now that I've run out of words, here's some pix :
