Here's the synopsis of why we are in Colorado. Nikki and I have been trying to get out to do some winter sports stuff for the last two months, but could never get anything done. Since we have been getting fed up with life, we decided that we would take a road trip, get some snowboarding in and pretty much just taking in some different scenery. We found out that we were over by one the night that she wanted off and the night that i wanted off, picked up some different shifts, and somehow got the trip planned in a little over a week.
We both worked Sunday night, so we just figured we would leave right away and get some sleep when we got here. I was able to drive for about the first tank of gas, but then I let Nikki's bf drive for a while so I could try to sleep. There were a few things that were fairly memorable (i.e. the hand-painted credit card sign at the first gas station we went to
and the old air-o-plane in the junk lot across the street from same said gas station
and all the trailers that we saw in fields of good ol' western Nebraska)
But we did make it to Colorado fine, so we decided to stop in Denver to go to a really good looking sandwich place called Backcountry Provisions. But it was close. boo. So we found a great little quaint Italian place called Mangiamo Pronto. I highly reccomend it to everyone, it even has vegan and other vegetarian options. I had something with lots and lots of meat in it.
It was delicious.
We then drove the rest of the way to Georgetown where our hotel is (pictures later, it's a very pretty place), and I found out that in heavy snow going down a mountain, I am the driver I hate and make fun of. Yes, I was driving 35 mph on the interstate. After that it was hot tub and bed. What a night!
