It's great to see Karla & Kevin and their friends, Sandi & Joseph and Marsha & Joey, here at the Nest in Summit Co. We quickly took advantage of the Sunday weekend, despite intermittent weather events, with nosh and a tottie (cassis sour) and then out the door for music. We visited Sauce On The Blue for a
reprise of the Shaky Hand String Band (no pics) then went onto the Keystone Bacon & Bourbon
fest where we just grabbed free music on the three stages. I
sponsored the move to catch Funkiphino but we saw the other Sun
afternoon artists too including O'Connor Brothers Band (kind of bluesy) and the team's fav, Queen Nation.
Sandi and Kevin in particular were stoked to see this show. That night we dined at Dillon Dam Brewery in prep for the Avs championship game. Great start.
We arose on Monday for coffee and got to Mtn Lion Cafe for a fine breakfast. The weather was better than the previous day and we got out the back door into the White river NF for a quick wildflower hike. Marsha & Joey showed up and we headed our for some fun, starting out at Sapphire Pt for a view hike above the Dillon Rez; Kevin came out this time and saw the fox. We returned through Frisco and stopped at ORB for some beers and Thai chix. Joey generously bought some rounds and cans.
The PM was laden with alternative birthday activities with Joey going stealth, the team listening to tunes and watching The Shining, and our celebrating Karla's & Sandi's birthdays. Another great day capped with some Code Names to test our melons.
We got up a smidge late Tue but still got out to eat fine Colorado quiche, send off Sandi & Joseph for the Front Range, walk among the wildflowers, get some nice beers at Broken Compass, and then stop at Royal's @ Tiger Run for a visit. I made a killer heirloom & burrata salad for dinner and sent everyone to bed.
Wednesday was a hoot getting breakfast at Mtn Lion, finding the troll in Breck and then some frisbee golf on the tough Frisco course. Gorgeous Colorado mountain day closed out with competitive Rumikub.
Thursday was mobile as we headed down mountain for dinner with Matt & Alexa. We hit Red Rocks, CU, Chataqua Park, Boulder Canyon, and Pearl St mall (and Mountain Sun brewery) before meeting M&A in Golden for sushi and a cider. Golden is a nice town; I loved the fly fishing bronze and seeing M&A most of all.
Thursday witnessed more wildflower walks on the Old Dillon Rez hike and the return of Sandi & Joseph. In the evening we hit Sauce on the Blue for dinner and then Rainbow Pk in Silverthorne for the Expendables (SKA) show ~ we didn't stay long as the view & sound were modest. We played Code Names at the Nest instead and the ladies redeemed themselves from many losses with a resounding victory.
Friday we had bagels and fruit and play CornToss before our guests, and ultimately we, departed for the Front Range.
