Thurs morn I got up early to get ready... we drove to ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK! it was amazing. So beautiful and I took heaps of pics of mountains but they were breath taking in person!
It was great to catch up with Adreinne, who I met in Florida YEARS ago! so fun!
We then drove to buy some tickets for the SUNS basketball game vs denver for fri night! I bought them from a guy off craigslist! $20 for the pair..... heck ya!
We drove over to Russ' house so I could change and get ready! Kev, Russ and I went out bar hopping. we went to Park and Co, Falling Rock tap house, Baracuda, thin man and then ended at El Diablo!
Each place was VERY different, some better then others but a great way to see around the city.
Preds played that night in Dallas- they won 2-0!!
With the high elevation and time difference I never did party all night, we were usually home by 11 or 12! lol but so much fun!
FRI- woke up and went to breakfast with Russ, we wanted to try a new place and boy was it SHADY (penn st perk) it was weird with no real decor idea, just random things all over, spider man doll, plants everywhere, chinese wall hanging and placemats, then it had a movie projector and a big white screen showing tv/movies... random! Food was ok, not great and Russ hated the coffee, and the tea to me was not great either! oh well... live n learn!
Russ went to work and I played online looking for Preds tix for sat night.
Emily came to pick me up and we headed down to 16th street pedestrian mall. So cool, lots of stores all outside and restaurants and stuff. nice place to walk and be outdoors!
We drove to Russ' so I could change again and we headed to OBLIO'S pizza with Kevin, his budy from COllege owns it. Small pizza joint but so fun and GREAT food! The owner bought us shots and Emily couldn't take one cuz she was going to work, so i took 2!
Kevin and I headed downtown for our Denver Nuggets vs Phoenix Suns basketball NBA game!
We got there to the PEPSI centre and Kevin ran into an old friend who gave us 2 tix for the 3rd ROW!!!
THANKS CHE! Those tix were worth $150 each!! It was amazing to be close, I was cheering for the SUNS cuz they have my boy Steve Nash!! nuggets won by 3 but what a fun game!
We went to some dive bar on the corner that had a guy on piano and a girl on drums doing requests... was fun actually when it got busy! We had a girls vs boys competition for singing and girls won- we won free shots! There was tons left over so I took another 4 shots :P
Home to bed!!
SAT-last full day in Denver! Russ' schedule changed sadly so he had to go to work early. Kevin and I went to the Denver Zoo- I LOVE animals I just hate them in cages! but i wanted to see them. Many pics from here!
Then we drove to meet a guy to buy tix for the Preds game. we headed on I-70 to go find the buffalo bt they were hiding :(
We drove to RED ROCKS which is an outdoor stage in the rocks- incredible place! I need to go back and see a show there!
We drove to capital hill area and went to CAFE BAR where Russ is the GM, we had a nice early dinner and drinks! Was great that Russ could sit and chat with us, I love him!
no time never anytime we had to rush downtown to the Pepsi Centre- I got changed in the parking lot and we headed in for the PREDS vs AVS game. Detroit had already lost that afternoon so Preds already had 4th place clinched with home ice advantage! :) :) :)
Seats were high up but so fun to be there! My Preds won 6-1!!!! amazing. nice to have a big W going into playoffs wed!
headed back to El Diablo for drinks and chips then home to bed. Russ was still awake when I got in- so I got to see/chat with him before my early flight in the morn.
SUN-up early, dressed and ready, all packed and NOT ready to go!!! I love this city of Denver and I WILL BE BACK!
Russ was great and drove me to the airport :) My flight was at 815am. Sad to say bye to my friends and to this new place that I love.
2 flights home and I was back in my car driving from Buffalo to ontario.
Drove to my cousins house just in time to eat some Easter dinner and dessert with my family!
