PUGS on a plane... to Denver

Travel again.... drove to BUF flew to DET then flew to DEN.... There were 2 pugs on my first plane sitting behind me- FOR REAL... one was asleep and the other barked a lil.. cute though!
Finally arrived in Denver Colorado and Kevin picked me up from the airport!
We drove toward the mountains and it was awesome, it snowed as i was landing but the farther north we went the sunnier and brighter it got and there was no snow!
We arrived at his place to unpack and refresh for a moment! We changed and headed downtown Fort Collins to Coppers Schmit for dinner and a beer. I ordered a nice black bean burger-yum and we had beer SAMPLES. I tried the cider and the apricot beer- both good. I drank LOTS of water too cuz with living at this elevation you have to be careful and not drink too much!
Fun times, we met up with 4 of his friends and had a great night! MY PREDS won in a shoot out 2-1- SO HAPPY!
Ryan, Jacob, Kev and I played table shuffle board and it was close games but Kev and I lost both times!
Time for bed! 2 hours behind ONT time.... so I was sleepy come 12 midnight here.
Blew up the blow up mattress, took a shower and hit the bed! ahhh good night!

Wed- woke up at 6, slept again til 7.. got dressed and headed to Verns for breaky... small town lil joint, local place, looks like its from 1960 and still run by the same family-cute. Local breaky place with cute old men up here for daily food.
They had dead/stuffed animal heads/bodies all over... very country!
I had veggie breakie and OJ, then we headed to the Canyon to Poutre (poot her) lol we drove in the mountains/canyon and it was really cool, lots of cows n horses then we saw deer and that made me happy! tons of pics of mountains to show later!
Drove home to get gas and call on neighbour Candace, we drove to a hiking trail and walked a lot. up huge trail to the top to see the water and the other side. great view, was warm n sunny, i think we all got a lil wind and sun burn!
I took my pic with the local PARK RANGERS!! i was such a tourist it was great.. even wore a TO maple leafs shirt... which i wore for the FIRST time today... lol just so people know I am Canadian!
Home to grocery shop and get a starbucks smoothie. Changed and headed to ONE of the 21 local breweries... great lil samples of beer. I tried 3 glasses of different types but only liked 2. I sipped a few of Kevs n Candaces- yum. Great pics and great times! fun place.
Total HIPPIE land here... I love it, everyone friendly and eco friendly and some even wearing tie dye! yup- awesome
We drove into downtown Fort Collins to walk/shop and take pics. Headed home as it got dark and cooked an amazing stir fry with tofu! yum
Candace came over for drinks and we watched Frozen planet and Goon!
Great day..... shower and ready for bed!
