The road trip (continued): Denverrrrrrrrr!

Here's the previous post.

After we finished taking pictures with red cliffs, it was time to move on. We weren't too thrilled about Denver, compared to Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, and the Red Cliffs, but we had too rest somewhere, so why not Denver?

As usual, I normally take breaks in 1.5-2 hours intervals. I asked Dear to search for the nearest Starbucks, and the GPS took us to one in Copper Mountain.

It was a Starbucks inside a Target, but let me tell you that it was the Starbucks with the most beautiful view of all!

We hung out for a while to indulge in nature's beauty before we headed to the gas station. Again, this was the most beautiful gas station I've ever been to.

Our "kids" wanted a picture as well :)

We'd had enough pleasure, so we continued to our hotel. They had complimentary shuttle service so we asked them to take us to a sushi restaurant we found on Yelp. We tried to get Dear drunk by helping her order a Majito, or some cocktail of that kind.

Turtle and I had sake.

While we were still sober, we managed to take a group picture together.

We returned to the hotel to have some Wii fun with tipsy Dear.

Dear got sleepy really quickly, so she went to bed first, while Turtle and I continued playing Wii.

The next day we took a little stroll at a near by promenade. Looks a little bit like the 3rd Street Promenade in LA, but with trolleys. We had some fun.

Then it was time to move. Next destination was Kansas City.
