Adventures in CO!

I do use the term "adventures" loosely right now, but here is my blog-worthy bullet-list of my Colorado escapades thus far: 

• Met one of my all-time best friends for a scrumptious brunch at this awesome vegetarian restaurant called WaterCourse Foods.  We've been hundreds of miles apart in Houston vs. Seattle but both happened to be in CO this weekend.  Hooray!
• Met another dear friend from CSU in Denver that day, who I hadn't seen in ages, but we got to catch up while pedaling one of THESE (see below) around Washington Park.  It was quite hilarious and spectacular!   Apparently that thing is called a Single Surrey. 

• Baked a FANTASTIC Kahlua cake with my wonderful mamasita.  One of my all-time favorite desserts.  YUM!!!  Enjoyed another slice of that decadence tonight.  Happiness on a plate . . .and in my tummy.
• Lots of leisurely strolls around the neighborhood with the parental unit.  Good for catching up, discussion, and disagreement.  =)  Plenty of leisurely meals with them afford the same.
• Checked out a 24 Hour Fitness Super Sport gym and was Super impressed!  =)  Tried a cycling class and they came around with a water pitcher and re-filled water bottles mid-class!  WHAT?!  Yes, yes they did.  The whole place was super clean and pristine.  Still felt brand new although apparently it's 2 years old.  Tons of machines - all that I tried were in great condition and they even had TRX out on A-Frames for anyone to use anytime.  Best part: Windows EVERYWHERE (windows as in, the kind that let light into a building, not the program on a computer).  =)  I loved it so much I spent 3.5 hours there!  Ah, the joys of this sabbatical!
