Today I decided to try one of the hikes above Red Rocks Amphitheater on Denver's West side, and take some photos while I was up there. It was a fairly clear day, and probably around 65 degrees and breezy at the top, but the breeze on the way up helped me cool off from the steep hike. I don't think I would recommend this hike simply due to how steep it is, and how often there are lots of small loose rocks on the trail. The way up wasn't too bad other than just steep. On the way down though, you had to be careful each step as those loose stones would give out from under your feet all the time. Good views on the way up and at the top though.... read more

Today we went to the Cave of the Winds and the Celestial Seasonings Plant. The Cave of the Winds was very interesting and informative. When we first arrived, we thought we were going to have to put up with a giant group of kids during our tour. Thankfully, the school kids went on their own tour and we went on a tour afterwards. The tour of the cave was really awesome - seeing all the formations was so amazing, and seeing how people originally entered the cave was a little scary - I'm glad its all paved and staired now :P One of the most interesting parts of the tour is hearing about the lore and legends of the cave. One story in particular stood out: There is a section close to the end of the ... read more

Back to travelling within the USA, and this time we went to Denver. Daddy has a bunch of really good friends there. We stayed at Matt and Chantell's house, 2 friends he met while being a waiter at a restaurant in Santa Barbara. They have been very good friends ever since, and have travelled together in Brazil and Thailand. They have 2 beautiful children, Veda and Riley, who are about my age. We had soooo much fun playing in their house. We went dowtown the second day, and ate at a restaurant which just so happened to have a bunch of Irish/Scottish dancers with their bagpipes parading through and around the restaurant. I also saw a HUGE blue bear dowtown. That night, we had a party at their house with other friends of my daddy's, Marc ... read more

Denver was pretty cool. I liked being in the city. Especially in the winterish time. The mountains are really pretty. We actually ate at Joe's Crabshack while we were there. I know it's a chain restaurant, but it was still good. If you are going to Colorado, I'd definitely just stop by Denver and go around downtown. You'll always find something to do.... read more
