Another typical spring run to Colorado. We took the Honda, left mid-day on Monday Feb 16, arrived a day later at nephew Jeremy’s house. New place for him, interesting neighborhood just a mile or so to downtown Denver.
Pictures are of his house and surround neighborhood.
The first day there was warm, in the 50’s. To a Cheesehead, 50’s and direct sunlight in Colorado feels like 70F. We walked LoDo, checked out the extensively remodeled Union Station.
2nd day – still warm weather. An obligatory walk in Washington Park.
Much snow was forcast. We lost our good weather for a day or two. Later we learned that Boulder, and much of the Front Range, set all time snow records for February. But in between these blasts, we caught another warm’ish morning and strolled the 17th street strip east of downtown.
More days, more snow, much colder. Another walking tour of LoDo, this time with temps around 15F, and windy.
Jeremy’s house is a virtual doggie day care center. Here’s Joey, Grace’s dog, and Sova (aka Sofa), Cami’s dog.
At some point, we migrated north to Longmont, where our good friends Chuck and Tricia had arranged for us to crash their pad while they were in Florida. It was great to be able to sling our crap all over the place without annoying anyone. Nice sunny house, and Longmont is an interesting, up and coming town. Affordable.
We drove by the Ryssby church, out in the country between Longmont and Boulder. Got married there in 1989.
Snow storms kept coming, we kept dodging them. Walked around a sodden and melting Boulder, temps around 50F, very strong sun. Again, it felt like summer.
A stroll down the Pearl St mall includes the obligatory visit to the Pepper Corn, world’s largest and most complete kitchen store. I could have shot 50 more photos in there . . .
Visited good friend Kathy Cain in Boulder. Her dog Gracie is just a riot. A consumate “fetch the ball” dog.
