HoneyMoon Adventures Part 6

On our way home last night Dad called and gave us some good advice on where to go to have some fun. He also said something really wise: "Now that you've dragged that woman on a crazy walk in the Kansas heat and you've made her follow you on crazy mountain trails AND you've made her go to the golf course with you, it should be her choice as to what to do from here on out."

Taking that advice I let Beki choose our day. Waking up at 7 in the morning (WHILE ON VACATION!!) may have been a drag but there was a great pay off in the end. See, up here in the mountains they have afternoon thundershowers everyday that come and go; if you're stuck on a hike in the middle of one you'll have to seek cover and if there's none, well, plan on getting soaked. Beki strategically planned a trip up Lookout Mountain before we would be dripping wet from the rain.

Should I be concerned about her obsession?

I don't know why, and this is completely random coming from her, she wanted to go to the Buffalo Bill Cody museum. The trip up there was worth the view from the top as we could see for hundreds of miles. Oh, and then there was the museum that we went to. The worst part for me - and the best for her - was when she made me dress like a cowboy, chaps and all in the middle of a huge crowd while a little girl on the fake horse seemed to want to rope me.

Afterwards we climbed up to the top where Buffalo Bill was laid to rest and had the best fudge one could ever imagine. And what tour would be complete without a huge bus unloading hundreds of Japanese tourists with their flashing cameras off? I tell you what, they were intent on seeing Buffalo Bill because they practically took Beki and I out as we were leaving the parking lot. With their cameras at the ready and excitement in their voices they barreled up to the entrance like I did looking for some fudge.

Then it was off to Red Rocks where we hiked every trail imaginable before coming to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre where some guy named Kaskade was getting ready for a show. Unfortunately we missed Jack White by 7 days :-(.

After the hike we showered and went across town for some delectable Indian food that was to die for. I'm always up for new things and seeing as how Beki just loves food from India we had to go. I won't disgust you with what it happened to do to my bowels though!

Later we went down town in hopes of catching Beki's favorite play, "Little Shop of Horrors" but instead opted for the 4 person show called, "I love you, Your Perfect, Now Change." We laughed for the whole 3 hours as the cast put on a show about the travails of singleness, dating, marriage and ultimately old age. It was a wonderful Play we enjoyed thoroughly.

Day 6 came to a close and one more day remains before we head off to see Barrett once again, Meet the Glover family to drop off the bikes and pick Terri Arnold up from the bus station. Yes, Colorado has been an enjoyable experience that I don't want to end. Hopefully though, I can sleep in tomorrow!
