We are absolutely in love with Denver!
This vacation was just what we needed!
We were able to take off without worrying
about Frank, work, or the finances!
(F R A N K W A S A T M Y S I S T E R S.)
We left Thursday evening hoping that we would be able to drive through the night, but unfortunately, we had to stop to sleep through the night.
It seems as soon as we got married, we got so old!
We cant even make it through an evening drive switching off drivers!
Man... W E G O T O L D F A S T!
After a great nights rest, we F I N A L L Y made it!
When we got there, we took a dip in the pool, and then got ready for the
Dave Matthews Band Concert!
"W O W"
It was seriously one of the most amazing concerts
I have ever attended!
I wasn't a hug fan of Dave Matthews,
but after T H A T show, I can't get enough!

This is outside the Dick's Sporting Goods Park where the concert took place.
We met some pretty cool people there waiting in line!
They told us about a new venue that we absolutely plan on attending one day!
It's called the G O R G E!
It was lucky that we were able to hear about this!
We were so excited to learn that Snoop Dog was opening for Dave Matthews.
Both of us agreed that he put on a terrible show.
Poor guy...
I don't think I've ever seen Mike so giddy in our whole relationship!
He was like a little boy on Christmas morning. It made the trip all worth it!
So happy we were able to make this happen!
Just look at that face!
Other than the water gardens, we'd much rather take
a stroll around Temple Square during Spring!
After we spent 45 minutes in the Gardens, we hurried over to Elitch Gardens!
It is America's only downtown theme park!
It was so fun!
We were able to see a couple of shows and to go on some unique rides!
These guys are called the A F R I C A N A C R O B A T S!
They were pretty incredible and so funny!
They were like the 2 potato bugs in the circus on the movie A bugs life!
They would just jump on each other like it was no big deal!
We really enjoyed it!
We also saw a way cool Motorcycle show! They were so amazing! In this picture, they had this guy walking on this huge circle while it was spinning around!
They also had a motorcyclist making some pretty scary jumps, and doing some really fun tricks!
T H E N as if that wasn't enough, they had 2 motorcyclists going around one of those metal circles!
The metal circle was so small and scary!
I thought I was going to have a heart attack!
We loved spending our day at the Elitch Gardens!
Definitely a day we will never forget!
While at Elich Gardens, we asked a lady what we should do that night.
She said if it was our first time to Denver, we needed to go to the 16th Street Mall!
It is a whole street in downtown Denver devoted to shops!
It was B E A U T I F U L!
We wanted to be able to see the whole mall,
but walking the entire length of it was out of the question!
A theme park really sucks the energy out of you!
SOOOO... Meet Scott! ☟He was our bike taxi driver!
He took us all over downtown Denver, so we got to see all of it!
It was by far our favorite part of the evening!
Michael felt like he was back in Madagascar!
We were so sad to have to leave our mini-vacation, but it was absolutely perfect!
We were able to be with each other 100% without worries of things from home.
On this vacation, we were able to fall in love all over again!
Not that we weren't in love before, but when you get time to yourselves, you get back to the roots of why you fell in love.
You are reminded how special each of you are.
You remember how perfect you are for each other.
Michael and I are truly the 2 P I E C E S O F A P U Z Z L E that fit F L A W L E S S L Y.
My weaknesses are his strengths, and visa versa.
When Heavenly Father placed him in my life, he was giving me the best blessing of them all.
Michael exceeds everything I could have imagined for myself.
I am so grateful for what Heavenly Father gives me!

The next day, we headed off to the Denver Botanical Gardens!
We thought it would be so beautiful, but both of us ended up being pretty disappointed!
We were trying really hard to enjoy it, but the entire time we were surrounded by people really into gardening!
They were feeling the leaves, discussing the texture and the moisture on them.
Then they would record their thoughts in a notebook!
Basically, we felt really out of place!
Although they did have some G O R G E O U S water gardens!
They were my favorite!

Both of us L O V E D this ride!
It was called Half Pipe, and it was pretty scary!
The coaster was literally a giant skateboard on a half pipe!
The seats on it spun around though, so you never knew
what you would be looking at as you got higher!
It was really clever, and unlike anything we had ever been on!
We loved spending our day at the Elitch Gardens!
Definitely a day we will never forget!
