We went on a road trip to see Bryan's sister Jamie over Memorial day weekend. It was so much fun. They live in Littleton, which is absolutely beautiful! We got to see the Columbine memorial. It was so peaceful and serene. It really made me think of my life, and how blessed I am. Seeing the school itself was a strange feeling because I remember seeing it on the news with the live footage of kids running out of the school screaming and frantic. It's so hard to imagine something so horrible taking place. We also got to visit the aquarium in downtown Denver. It was such an awesome aquarium...Salt lake definitely needs an upgrade theirs does not even compare. Braxton loved it! We took a drive to a memorial site called Mount Lindo Memorial, which is literally on top of a mountain. It is a place for people who are creamated to have a memorial, and a place for family and friends to visit. You can see Denver and the surrounding areas from the peak. I had never seen anything like it. We also went to a place called Tiny Town. It was a village of miniature buildings, which were replicas of different historic buildings in the surrounding areas. Braxton though it was pretty cool, he had to crouch down to look inside of them. We got to go on a tiny town train ride, which he also loved. On our last day we went to a small town outside of Denver called Golden, and went on the Coors Brewery tour. It was really fun, and I discovered that beer isn't really all that bad, with an orange in it! The 16fh street shopping center in Denver was also a lot of fun! 20 blocks of stores, restaurants and lots of interesting people (rocket man, bronze cowboy, lol). everytime we go somewhere new I come home wanting to move. There is so much diversity outside of SLC, so many things to do and see. I love road trips!!
