We woke up in Denver to blue skies and 65 degree weather. We had a few hours before check out so we went out to check out the city. We saw the capital buildings and civic center. We also walked down an outdoor mall that they have. The streets are closed off to cars and only a free bus travels up and down the 15 or so blocks of shops.
For lunch, we went to Casa Bonita.
If you’ve ever seen the South Park episode about it, it really is THAT awesome. They have live shows, good food and the best décor. It’s decorated as if it’s a Mexican village with a waterfall, Blackbeard’s cave and a jail.
We we’re running around the place, way more excited than any of the kids there. The only time we weren’t smiling was in Blackbeard’s cave because it was actually terrifying.
After lunch, we hit the road to Utah. This was the most beautiful drive we’ve ever been on. We weren’t expecting to drive through the Rockies but we were so glad we did. The road was all over the place and we even went through some tunnels going right through the mountain.
We drove side by side to the Colorado river and we watched the snow and tree covered mountains turned into rocky canyons.
Tonight we ended up in Salina, Utah. Tomorrow morning, we're getting back on the road and heading to one of the places we're most looking forward to: Zion National Park.
