Denver For the Weekend!

This past weekend I met my parents in Denver. My Dad was left unsupervised on a Saturday morning a few weeks ago, and all the sudden at 8am I get a call and we're suddenly planning this trip. Hey, every chance I get to get out of LA, I take!

I couldn't find any great flight times on Saturday, so I flew in Friday night. I specifically chose a hotel close to the airport and with free shuttle service. I called TWICE on Friday to confirm the shuttle schedule and was assured it ran every hour on the hour. I rushed off my plane and rushed through baggage claim to make sure I was outside waiting before the top of the hour. I got outside at 10:44. 11:15 rolled around and most hotel busses had come and gone by this time, so I called my hotel. They assured me a shuttle was coming. I waited 20 more minutes and kept calling and calling and each time I was assured the shuttle was 5-8 minutes away. Finally, 12:30 rolls around {yes, I waited for TWO HOURS} and a neighboring hotel shuttle offered to drop me off. When I FINALLY got to the hotel, the front desk gentleman {weirdly, I only spoke to women when dealing with the shuttle} said the shuttle drivers got rude, so they stopped calling them. Pretty cool, especially since they were fully aware I had been waiting for TWO HOURS! Needless to say, I was nowhere near being a happy camper by the time I finally got to my room.

On Saturday, we toured the Coors Brewery on the way up to Dillon. It was so cool!! Best part, we got three free samples of beer, and by samples I mean glasses. The beer was amazingly fresh and cold!

Some of the many different beers MillerCoors brews. I had no idea it was so many!

Part of the brewing process. Yes, those big copper things are full of beer!

My future job!

Sunday we went to the Rockies game. Obviously, my Mom and I were in it for the food and beer! We need to keep Dad entertained, though ;-) We got a free ride in a golf cart from where we parked to the stadium. The driver also gave us free margarita tickets to a bar across the street from the stadium. We definitely started the game off right!

This quick weekend away reminded how much I absolutely love Colorado. It was so peaceful and beautiful staying in the mountains. Love, love, love. I will be back there soon!
