We have decided after a week in Colorado that perhaps this would be great place to avoid Georgia's summer heat, Maine has nothing on Colorado. Although, I really cannot fathom driving all the way here pulling a camper! The view of the Rocky Mountains is breathtaking and the weather is lovely. The thermometer will read 90, but as long as one is in the shade, you are comfortable. The sun can be brutal at this altitude.
On Monday, after a week on the road, it was time to do errands and chores. Then we planned to drive up to the Boulder area. Well, those chores seemed to go on and on. When we finished it was 4PM and discretion seemed the better part of valor. For the second nigh
t in a row we dined at a Brewpub, part of a chain. One would not expect it to have great food, but this one does. We went back as we had all seen more than one thing we wanted to sample and we were not disappointed.
Tuesday the three of us made the short drive to Boulder and looked around. There were a lot of nice vintage homes of various styles that we enjoyed. We went to the airport where the guys looked at a vintage Beech 18 and we watched sailplanes soar. This was right at the foothills of the mountains. We enjoyed a bison burger at Ted's Montana Grill before coming back to pick up Peggy from the airport bus that stops a block from our hotel.
Oh, yay! Peggy is like a breath of
spring. She is so animated and full of fun. And besides that, we can talk about something other than airplanes and guns at dinner. Tonight we went to a Bistro in Arvada where the food was good, but some things missing. One had to ask for bread, and pay through the nose for a side salad and the service was spotty. (And the prices were a lot higher than the other places we have been eating.)
One more day here, then on to Denver.
