Bob and Dorothy came to play in June! Mandy and I met them at the airport. Here's a Self-Three! ;-)
My neighbor Jim was off to Ohio, celebrating his Mom's birthday, so the three of us went to Racine's for breakfast, and headed up for a walk around Denver City Park.
I think everyone enjoyed breakfast at DW's 285 Diner in Conifer, and hiking up in the foothills, at the Flying J Ranch open space.
We had breakfast at the Egg & I, then went walking on the South Platte River trail. Bob and Dorothy were singing YMCA, so we tried to make the letters with only three people. Mandy was no help at all.
Continuing the effort to share all my favorite places to eat, we had a great Middle Eastern dinner at Jerusalem restaurant.
We missed out on a planned hike at Devil's Head fire lookout, as they were taking a mule train up to resupply the lookout. We tried hiking the Indian Creek trail as an alternative, but with all the tremendous rain we'd had, after walking a half mile, we found it underwater for a considerable distance, and decided to head back. So we consoled ourselves with checking out Colorado's geological and paleontological history at Dinosaur Ridge.
We thought we were heading up to Water World for some fun water sliding, but it was so cold we called it off. Dorothy had a friend up in Thornton, and we dropped her there for the day. Bob and I found ourselves playing disc golf at the 18-hole Valmont disc golf course in Boulder. Loved it!
Bob and I headed over into downtown Boulder after disc golf, in search of a nice lunch. We found ourselves enjoying a walking tour of the Pearl St Mall, and finally settled on Tapas at The Mediterranean restaurant. We stopped by the Boulder Baked Cafe, hoping to say Hi, but there weren't open yet.
