Another great weekend

So this weekend, I headed up to Boulder to avoid the Inn-town Suites. It's not that the Inn-town Suites are bad, it's just not ideal. Friday night, Brett and I overstuffed ourselves at the Himalayan/Indian Buffet and then tried to sample some different brews at the Mountain Sun Brewery. Unfortunately, we picked a couple bad beers in our sampler, but it ended up working out because we ate so much that it was nearly impossible to drink beer. The brewery was pretty cool though, and would be a cool place to go with visitors (hint hint). Saturday morning, we went and got our Jeeps inspected, so that we can get Colorado plates and licenses. After a guy with no teeth, who I know had a great time in the 60s, finished our inspections, we headed off to lunch and then headed over to summit Bear Peak. Bear Peak is about 8,600ft above sea level, and on one side you have a view of Boulder and the plains, and on the other, you have the continental divide. The trail head was about 6,100ft above sea level, and the trail was only about 3.5 miles long, so we did quite a bit of uphill, but the view was really worth it (pictures to come). Saturday night, we headed to the Lazy Dog and watched a Grateful Dead cover band Hurtin Kurtis, which was pretty fun. Sunday night I headed over to my dad's friend Gary's house to meet up with him and his family. I had met them the first time I came to Colorado 11 years ago on a trip that probably led to me living here today. It was a lot of fun, and they really made me feel welcome. After they took me out to dinner, we went back to their home and played basketball in the driveway for about an hour before going inside and having homemade pie. Before I left, they marked out some good places to go fly fishing on a map of Colorado and a map of Wyoming, which I plan to use as soon as I get a fishing license. This weekend, I get to move into my apartment and have all of my stuff again! I'm so excited. Hopefully, I can get moved in rather quickly, so that I can use the holiday weekend to get out to the national park or something.
