For Spring Break this year we decided to go on a mini road trip with our friends the Olers. We decided to hit up Denver-the zoo, the aquarium, shopping, great food and with good friends-what could be better?
We decided to go for just go for 3 days, but it was 3 days of fun! We decided to leave Laramie really early and head to the Zoo. The kiddos had a blast seeing all the animals! Luke's favorite was the Zebra and Eliza was pretty found of the Penguins. The Denver Zoo is super family friendly and has a great picnic area so we had a picnic at the Zoo-the kids LOVED it! It was good thing we went to the Zoo the first day, the weather was a little cold the rest of our stay.
The next day was Aquarium day! I think everyone else in the Denver area thought the same thing as we did-IT WAS PACKED! Those who know Eliza well, know her "Miss. Independent" attitude and wants to be a "big girl" like her brother-she wants to walk like big brother Luke and NOT be in the stroller. With the Aquarium being soon crowded, Eliza was in the stroller-which OF COURSE she was not happy about, she was also not too happy of dim lighting that the aquarium had. Luke on the other hand, "Mr. Easy-Go-Lucky", LOVED every bit of the aquarium-especially when he got to touch a Manta Rey-sadly, it was too crowded to get a picture : (
Day 3, our final day was spent shopping! Now, to most people you wouldn't qualify this as a spring break activity- but living in Laramie- going to a REAL mall- one that has more than 10 stores, that is an exciting outing, especially a mall as swanky as Park Meadows! Most malls when they have cars advertised in them they're your typical cars that the every American can afford- this mall is so nice they had a Maserati sitting in there, not sure who was more excited-Luke or Kevin! We ended the trip with dinner at one of our favorite places that we miss from living in the "big" city-CHEESECAKE FACTORY....yuuuummmmm!
Our spring break trip was a nice little getaway from Laramie, with a lot of fun memories made!
Thanks for a fun trip Olers!
