While Reid was busy studying for the bar, I took our friend out to downtown Denver. We stopped by the Bronco's stadium (even though I'm a Chief's fan), and then walked around from Elitch Gardens to Coors Field. Having lived in Denver for a couple months now, I'd never been into downtown so it was nice to go explore. After our day of exploring we met up with Reid and went to dinner at the Tavern Uptown. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. They have a big, secluded patio that even allows dogs! Perfect place to spend a Colorado evening.
The next day we drove west of Boulder to the Indian Peak Wilderness area. Even though the Websites warned this was a populated area, we didn't quite realize what we were getting ourselves into. But we soon discovered why everyone goes to this place...it was gorgeous! We went on a hike past Long Lake to Lake Isabelle then a bit further to Isabelle Glacier. Colorado outdoors never let you down.
And now to the reason for our friends visit, the Colorado Irish Festival. Reid and I are waiting for the day when we can take a trip to Ireland, so we took the opportunity to get a sneak peek at this festival. My favorite part of the festival was the music. The Elders were the main performers for the night and we instantly decided we needed a CD. Gotta love the Irish music.
Only a week and a half left until Reid takes the bar exam. I can't wait for this week to be over with, and for the studying from law school and the bar exam to be put behind us, for good!
