For the last week our trip has consisted of mostly driving. See that this is a road trip, I guess that makes sense but for one day we were blessed to take a brake and trade in the pavement for a dirt road. Matt's old roommate Justin lives in Denver Colorado and his uncle has a house about 30 minutes up in the mountains where he took for the afternoon.
It was absolutely beautiful up there, surrounded by dark green trees and glassy lakes. We couldn't believe we were getting to relax in such a place. We all spent time racing around the property on ATV's and paddling through the lake (his family owns!) in a pedal boat.
As if this wasn't enough excitement for one day we met up with James Hagan, his girlfriend Malia, and Justin's girlfriend Alicia for dinner in downtown Denver. After taking a rather crowded 6 person bike-taxi ride through the city we all went to Whole Foods for groceries (to survive on the road) and dessert. I think all of us would agree that our mouths and stomachs hurt from a day full of so much laughter.
To top it all off, Justin and Alicia took Matt and I to see the famous Red Rock Amphitheater even though it was pouring rain and a Celtic concert had just let out.
It had to be one of the most full and fun days of my life. I'm excited for more to come.
