Colorado part 1

So this post is a little delayed, but it took some serious time to go though all the pictures that I took while in Colorado. The trip was amazing, enough though Matt managed to get step throat on the second day and was laid up pretty much for two days. It is so pretty out there and it was great to see family that we don't get to see nearly enough.

So on our first full day we headed out to Golden with my cousins and had a full but great day. The first stop was the Coors tour, even though I not a huge fan of beer it was still fun.

 
all the guys learning about beer.

Then Jeremy told us about a great little pizza place so we ate some lunch before heading up lookout mountain where Buffalo Bill is buried.


These deer were right by the road just looking at us. 


 
Matt did the driving and it was quite funny. He got very frustrated by the number people riding up the mountain.

How could you not love this view? 

 Looking over the edge...yikes

On the way home we decided to stop by Red Rocks Amphitheater. It was so pretty and unlike anything around Ohio.


I love how we are both looking in the same direction. 

  
Just holding up a rock..lol

 As you can tell we had a very busy first day! Later that night Matt started to get sick so the next day he stayed in bed and I spent some time with my grandparents. I went to the library with my grandma and just hung out around the house. Then on Monday once he still wasn't feeling better I decided it was time for urgent care. Later that day he was feeling a little better so we drove out to the Eisenhower Tunnel which is the highest tunnel for vehicles in the world and is just about 1.6 miles long. Also with it being a higher elevation it was snowing but luckily it wasn't sticking to the roads. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Pretty snow covered mountains


I could hardly even see the road at times with the fog and snow. 

A cute little town on the way 

As you can tell I took a ton of pictures. On Wednesday we headed down to Colorado Springs so that will be on the next post.
