May 2nd Golden Colorado

 

This morning we (Peter, Holly, Rodney, Julie, Jack, Nancy and Roger) went over to flea market near the motel.   It was huge, and we only saw a little bit of it.   We had our photos taken, and as you can see, our time in the West has changed us….

We then drove to Boulder where we checked out the Pearl Street mall and a brew pub, before a short visit to the Celestial Seasonings headquarters store and the Leaning Tree museum and store.DSC00521-2.jpg Leaning Tree Museum image by carolinasky

 

We then went over to Terry and Colleen’s for our final evening in Colorado.   They have a wonderful home with gorgeous views of the Rocky Mountains.  It was a special time with Ben and Stacy and kids, Julie, Chris, and Vesper, Andy and David, Belinda, Nori, and Kyoshi and Virgil the pooch hobbling around with his rebuilt knee.  We talked and laughed and ate wonderful food and celebrated Julie’s birthday, which almost started a forest fire.

We visited all evening and watched coyotes hunt in the field below the house.  The clouds in the distance were spectacular.  It was a perfect end to a perfect little vacation, over all too soon.
