a first for everything...dad in denver!

We had a pleasant surprise on thursday afternoon. Dad called and said he bought himself a ticket to d-town! He flew in yesterday afternoon. Joel picked him up from the airport and dropped him off at our house. Drew had brought me to work early in the morn, so dad had a car. After many wrong turns and much frustration with the GPS (I can only imagine), he ended up at Breakfast on Broadway. I was just finishing up my side work, so it was perfect timing! We took a mini tour and headed home to take naps!! Drew came home from work at 4pm and woke us both up.

It's Sunday night right now and we have done soooo much already! Last night we headed to our all-time favorite restaurant, Thai Basil. We grabbed some beers and a LOT of food, headed home, had intentions of going out but decided to put on our "comfy clothes" (thanks ash for coining that term). Needless to say, our beds called soon after that.

Today we woke up early, went to breakfast, church, then to the Tommy Knocker Brewery in a small mountain town. After hanging out in Idaho Springs (the town where the gold rush started) and going to a museum, we headed up to Loveland (where Drew and I have skied) to grab a beer and sit outside to soak up some rays. We left the mountain (dad was feeling a little altitude sickness coming on) and headed to the Coors Brewery. It was closed--bummer! We were going to quick stop home to change and what not, but got WAY to comfy WAY to quick. I headed to the store to get some goodies for the morning and picked up 2 movies. We are on our second one right now. I rented "The Transporter 3" and "Milk", but after the first one, dad and Drew wanted to watch more action, so we are watching Rambo (a little bit too much drama for dad I think...he's breathing heavy, leaning forward, and biting his nails while looking very intensely at the TV) ohhh man. anywho...here are some pics.

some good laughs

i swear we didn't just drink all day...although the pics tell a different story...

Clear Creek (what the guys are looking into for fish) is the water that Coors uses for their beer.

so good to see dad.
