After our hiking adventure we headed up to Park City and spent two days there. It was nice to recover because I was soooo SORE. It was hard to walk up and down stairs but well worth it because we had never been to downtown Park City and it was awesome.

We spent the night with July, Cayman and Cooper and had so much fun. Phil and I took Cayman swimming. Alli and Paul joined us for dinner and then we were headed to DENVER in the morning.

We were running behind Wednesday morning and had to make our flight. We thought we were parking in long term parking when really it wasn't and would later cost us $125 to park at the airport. We checked in, got some food, went to the bathroom and were the last TWO on the flight. We made it to Denver and headed out to Vail. The drive on I-70 is beautiful. The mountains, trees, rocks, rivers just BEAUTIFUL!! Vail was pretty and all SHUT down. School started early so nothing was opened. We talked to some locals and they told us to go to this place called "Hanging Lakes." We hiked in and it was amazing. It is this remote lake on the mountain and then if you hike up another hundred yards there is a HUGE waterfall. Just beautiful. Who knew I would become such a HIKER on one vacation.

We headed to Denver on Thursday and went to the 16Th street mall. It was fun and HOT. We decided to go the the Aquarium but once we got there we noticed they had BIKES for rent so we rented a bike and rode around the river. We noticed there was a Bronco's game and found a scalper and bought tickets. 2 tickets for $25 bucks if you like sitting in section 5 row 14. Totally fun!

Friday we went to a movie and then head out to see Tyler and Heidi (Phil's sister). We had so much fun. They have a crazy cat named Ruby. We visited, went to a show, dinner and had a blast. They took us to Boulder on Saturday and we saw lots of crazy street performers. We were sad to leave but glad to be home. After being gone since Sunday it was nice to not live out of a suit case and sleep in your own BED.

Reality is hard to come back to. At least we have San Francisco to look forward to in October!

Glad you guys had fun in Denver! Although I think you take too many vacations.......just kidding. I'm just extremely jealous you get to take time off work and have some fun! I'll live vicariously through you. How about going to London next? :)
