Weekend in Denver

This past weekend we journeyed up to Colorado for a friend’s wedding. We arrived Thursday night in Denver and took the two hour tour from the airport to the hotel. Anyone that has been to Denver knows what I mean by that and if you haven’t been there it is because the airport is so far from Denver that it’s about a half an hour drive. On top of that we had to pick up our rental car which is a lovely bus shuttle from the airport and that was after we waited forever to get our bags. We landed at 8pm, but got to the hotel at 10pm just in time to still have drinks with everyone before they called it an early night. We got up early on Friday and took the rental car for a ride through the mountains and ended up in Breckenridge. The drive was about a half an hour long and well worth it because it is such a beautiful drive. I thought Arizona had mountains, but Colorado made Arizona look like hills compared to these mountains. I managed to survive Andy’s driving through the curvy road and we ended up making it to Breckenridge in one piece. Just before Breckenridge though I noticed a Coach Outlet store and got super excited. Andy said we could stop on the way home and we definitely stopped and I got myself a white leather souvenir with beige leather straps. Breckenridge is such a cute mountain town. I couldn’t believe there was snow on top of the mountains though. I definitely was not expecting that since we are in the middle/end of June. After wandering around the tiny town we decided to head back to Denver that is after our trip to the Coach store. Once we got back to town Andy and I did some more exploring before we headed out to dinner and then out for drinks. Saturday morning we were going to hit up the 16th street mall, but were way too tired from our late night on Saturday so we slept-in instead. The wedding was Saturday afternoon and it was a beautiful wedding. It was located on the top floor of a building and it had a large patio off the ballroom with absolutely beautiful views of the mountains. The bride looked stunning in her wedding dress and the groom definitely noticed as she entered the church. The booze was flowing and everyone was having a great time. I know Andy was having a great time as he was able to hang out with all of his guy friends at once for the first time in a very long time. This made for a very long night which ended up for a long day on Sunday for traveling. The flight home for Andy and I was rough, but we don’t care because we had so much fun with everyone that the pain on Sunday was well worth it. Denver was a great time, beautiful city, nice weather and great friends. I would like to see everyone again sooner than later.
