Jeff and I spent Saturday hanging out with our friend Brooke up in Fort Collins. It was strange visiting our old city again since it has been almost a year since we've moved down to Highlands Ranch. You forget how different suburbia is than a college town. Mainly, I miss people watching all the completely bazaar locals. For example, the man that rides around town on his 5ft tall unicycle, or that kid that dances on the street corner and holds advertisement signs and was featured on 9 news, or need I say the famous Balloon Boy... Highlands Ranch has nothing as exciting as that!
The main reason we went back to visit (besides seeing our friend of course,) was to check out the local breweries. One of my favorite things about Fort Collins are all the fantastic microbreweries that line the town. Here is a flight of beer from Odell's.
Cheers from the Fort Collins brewery!
After tasting some yummy beers- and some not so yummy, we had to stop at one of the local Mexican restaurants. All in all it was a great trip. Except when we got home and had horrible stomach aches from what I think had to have been from a beer named "Cha Cha Cha" a chili beer. The name sounded so fun, we had to try it. Next time I won't be so easily fooled. Beer and chili do not mix. On a side note, if the jacket that I am wearing in the bottom picture belongs to anyone, let me know! It somehow ended up at my house sometime after the wedding.. And until someone claims it I will continue to wear it :)

ReplyDeleteIsn't it strange the characters that a university town attracts? Whole different universe. Glad you enjoyed yourselves!
Didn't Aunt Lori lose her black coat? Hmmm.....Looks like fun, never have liked the taste of beer though....
