Denver, Colorado

It's almost 2 in the AM and I can't sleep. Anthony is deep breathing next to me and Choe is having a crazy dream under our bed. It sounds like she is barking, but more muffled. You know like when you think your talking in your dreams, but really it comes out all muffled and not real. Unless your my sister-in-law who full on talks and even yells in her sleep and did I mention also claps and cheers. 

I was uploading some pics on my computer...... these are from when I went to Denver for work. Anthony and I had the chance to fly in early June 15th so we could play. Sadly the weather was a lot like Utah's so it was a whole lot of rain. Thats okay though. I love Denver I think it is so pretty. Everyone is so outdoorsie (is that even a word??) Everywhere you look someone is running, biking, skateboarding, walking a dog, or just walking. There is little areas even built in the stairs so people can ride their bikes down and bike trails all over the place. 

When we got there of course it was raining. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency which was very close to 16th street. I think thats the right street?? Anyhow it is a whole street that is a mall. There is even a free trolley that runs up and down the street that you can catch, and the best part is its FREE. We rode that until the Cheesecake Factory caught our eye. The best part was it wasn't packed like it always is in Murray. The sun had cleared up just long enough that we were able to enjoy our food outside and then even better we consumed the large piece of Oreo Cheesecake with a side of ice cream. After all that food we caught the little trolley once again and rode it to the very end where we got off and tried to walk off some of the cheesecake. We ended up going to the Aquarium, but of course it started raining on the walk so I decided to run off the cheesecake (not by choice). By the time we reached the Aquarium we were both as soaked as the fish. Here are some pics....

I totally wish I would have paid attention. I didn't know that he wanted a kiss


Anthony took this one. Look at the giant weird looking fish in the middle. Oh wait sorry thats me


I don't really get into the whole touching part. I just like to look, especially since my mom was stung by one of those :(


What an actor. You almost think Jaws is really eating him

I was so excited they had an octopus. He was quite large and in charge


I have to put this picture in. I took it and was so proud of myself. I think it looks like a screensaver or it could almost be a calendar picture. 


Anthony just getting a massage by a giant lobster. 


Anthony's favorites were the sharks

Don't mind the wet hair.





We had a fun time. If I ever go back I am eating in the restaurant they had in there. It was so neat. Of course it was a seafood restaurant and while you eat the fish there are lots of fish swimming around you in these ginormous tanks giving you the evil eye because you just ate their best friend, cousin, grandpa, or some other close family member. Sad story, but at least were not at the bottom of the food chain. 

The next day I had my workshop all day long. It was a fun short trip. 

I have another funny story that goes along with this trip, but its about Anthony so I need him to help me remember the details precisely and like I said he is asleep next to me. So I will tell you about it soon
