3-for-1

They say good things come in threes, and our recent activities are no exception! Without further ado, here are three cool things we did in the two weeks between the weekend Andy and Karri came and last weekend.

1. Rockies Game

Tuesday the 5th we went into Denver for a baseball game with people from Simon's work (mostly interns, a few full-timers). Andy had stopped back into town for an extra night, so he came too. You might remember us talking about the row of purple seats in the stadium that marks a mile high, and you can see them in the picture. (zoom in for a better look)

The game wasn't too exciting except for the part where there was some fighting, causing everyone from both teams to jump off the bench and run onto the field. The boys tell me this doesn't happen every day. Naturally, they thought it was sweet.

2. Texas Roadhouse Dinner

We went to eat at Texas Roadhouse because they were having a specials night featuring New Belgium. They had games to win prizes, and (given their documented focus on bikes) one was racing tiny bikes on a "course" around the restaurant. Yeah, fun times. Simon won a t-shirt, and it was funny to watch. The waiter was really good!

3. Taste of Fort Collins/Old Town Car Show

Saturday, June 9th was the annual Taste of Fort Collins festival, featuring food and live music. It was actually kind of like Ann Arbor's art fair because there were artists and local businesses set up too. The food area had lots of restaurants represented, but all the food cost extra. Instead, we mostly filled up on the three rounds of free appetizers at the Whole Foods tent, along with mini samples of Starbucks (see pic!). The music headliner for the night was Sister Hazel of "All For You" fame, so we got to hear them play for about an hour before biking back home.

In the middle of the afternoon we took a break to go to the other event happening downtown -- the Old Town Classic Car Show. There were some awesome cars on display. I'm going to put up a bunch of them since they looked so cool. The first place winner was the bright orange car -- a 1956 Chevy Del Ray (yes I had to look that up). It WAS a beauty!

Last weekend was Boulder, and I'll have a post up about that soon -- it's already half done!
