Another typical spring run to Colorado. \u00a0We took the Honda, left mid-day on Monday Feb 16, arrived a day later at nephew Jeremy’s house. \u00a0New place for him, interesting neighborhood just a mile or so to downtown Denver.<\/p>\n

Pictures are of his house and surround neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The first day there was warm, in the 50’s. \u00a0To a Cheesehead, 50’s and direct sunlight in Colorado feels like 70F. \u00a0We walked LoDo, checked out the extensively remodeled Union Station.<\/p>\n

2nd day – still warm weather. \u00a0An obligatory walk in Washington Park.<\/p>\n

Much snow was forcast. \u00a0We lost our good weather for a day or two. \u00a0Later 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.<\/p>\n

More days, more snow, much colder. \u00a0Another walking tour of LoDo, this time with temps around 15F, and windy.<\/p>\n

Jeremy’s house is a virtual doggie day care center. \u00a0Here’s Joey, Grace’s dog, and Sova (aka Sofa), Cami’s dog.<\/p>\n

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. \u00a0It was great to be able to sling our crap all over the place without annoying anyone. \u00a0Nice sunny house, and Longmont is an interesting, up and coming town. \u00a0Affordable.<\/p>\n

We drove by the Ryssby church, out in the country between Longmont and Boulder. \u00a0Got married there in 1989.<\/p>\n

Snow storms kept coming, we kept dodging them. \u00a0Walked around a sodden and melting Boulder, temps around 50F, very strong sun. \u00a0Again, it felt like summer.<\/p>\n

A stroll down the Pearl St mall includes the obligatory visit to the Pepper Corn, world’s largest and most complete kitchen store. \u00a0I could have shot 50 more photos in there . . .<\/p>\n

Visited good friend Kathy Cain in Boulder. \u00a0Her dog Gracie is just a riot. \u00a0A consumate “fetch the ball” dog.<\/p>\n
