As you might expect there's a last bit of scrambling to say goodbye to friends and family before we go. We spend a lovely afternoon with Anne and Alex and their adorable new elkhound puppy appropriately named Rock! Isn't he just adorable!
There are burgers and brats with our rediscovered friends, Dave and Cindy in Evergreen (and an encounter with a fox that evening that leaves us with a story to tell). There's rounds of drinks with neighbors and meals at favorite restaurants and pubs. We finally celebrate our anniversary (which officially was on July 3rd) at an elegant place in Boulder, Frasca's that serves exquisite Northern Italian food. Our meal was made extra special through two generous gift cards we had received that covered half the very large bill!
On Sunday, just four days before our road trip, my sister and her husband are up from Durango visiting their kids in Denver and we make plans to meet for breakfast at a Triple-D (ie. Diner's, Drive-ins and Dives) locale called Steuben's. What is it about their food? All I know is we all gorge ourselves and afterwards we wander around a city park nearby while our bloated stomachs digest...

That same evening we have plans to meet up with Tom and Pat, longtime friends now living in Ft. Collins. We are packing a picnic dinner and heading to Red Rocks to see Chicago perform with the Denver Symphony! Red Rocks itself is such a unique venue, truly a magnificent setting. It's a gorgeous night on the Front Range and couldn't make for a better send-off!
