Labor Day Weekend!

Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone!

Now that it has come & gone- let's do a recap:

For me, it all began on Saturday morning.
Erm, afternoon rather, since I spent the morning
doing my online assignments.

Well, I made it to the Farmer's Market just in time
to grab some lunch before they closed down.

My veggie friendly black bean tamale!

While I sat and ate, I also watched:
Scored some free entertainment : D

After lunch I went to the library,
and then to the park to read.

While I was at the park, I looked over
and spotted this blushing bride:
Isn't her dress lovely?


Finally, on my way home I was greeted with
about a 2-mile long strip of this:

Really sweet old hot rods! I saw a make & model for ever year cars have existed.

Then, that lazy day, Sunday, came along.

I ran some errands on my way into town,
and then went to the CSM soccer fields.
I watched my cousin's friend, Allie, play. Mines lost. Boo.

I went to yoga.
I cleaned the studio.

Then, Monday came along and I set out on a mission!

My Goal: Red Rocks or Bust!

I have wanted to visit the Red Rocks Ampitheratre since
I borrowed (& accidentally held onto for over a year)
my friend Jeff's Incubus DVD from a show they did there.

The first stop, Kohl's.
Armed with coupons, I had important matters to attend to.

Then...biking.
And more biking.
Biking against the wind biking.
Biking uphill biking.
Biking in a no-humidity thirst inducing climate biking.
So, yeah- it wasn't that far...and I biked.

After a wrong turn or so, I saw this.

But, I knew I was there with this!
Wow! Sadly, no climbing allowed...boo.

But, that is just on the side of this:
The Red Rocks Amphitheater.
Click above for info!

People come here to run the stairs & work out.
Apparently, there are impromptu drum circles here too.
I am dying to go back for one now!



In case you have somehow missed all possible memos
I am, in fact, in CO:

Here's proof. A map.


Here's what the place looks like, kinda... What is this!? The Red Rocks Amphitheater for Kids that Don't Hear Good for Ants!?


Just some silly shadow play to throw into the mix!
Now let's go inside for a look.

Headed over to the Visitor's Center
you can find a ton of cool memorabilia about their performers.

You can listen to audio clips of past performances.
You can watch cool videos in their little home theater room.

There's even a big wall filled with a list of every performance to date!
They list it by year:
In case you were wondering...




At the end there's a room with old concert posters
and a ceiling full of prayer flags : D

The Climb: Castle Rock

DAY 2: As an intern.
I got a badge!
Which makes things even more official ; b

The day started off just like any other.
I woke up at 5:something a.m.
I went to the BootCamp Class that Jenn
teaches, which consisted of jogging up to Castle Rock. -_-

Castle Rock's elevation: roughly 6,200 ft.
Fort Myers, FL's elevation: around 7 to 10 ft.
Again, perspective here...


See Bambi!?

First, there were deer!

Then, there was a view.
OMG! Check that out. Good morning, Golden!

So, there's a group of like 8 of us.
Jogging up the small mountain,
stopping for dips, squats, push-up,
or maybe a breath of freaking air!

Almost to the top of Castle Rock!

Finally, getting to the top.
Ah! Look at that view.
Hello tiny town below.
Oh, wait. Now we work out?
Good warm up guys...

Jenn leading the group with some resistance training.

Also, here's a quick video I tried to be
sneaky about shooting during that class.
Yes, the audio is crap again.
But, I did figure out how to do that subtitle thing : D
So enjoy!



Okay, and after the bootcamp my day went like this:
Breakfast.
Balance & Strength class.
Volleyball with the Coors retirees.
Shadowing front desk.
Rock Bottom class (lower body).
Lunch Crunch class (core).
Lunch!
More shadowing desk hours.
Talk to the P.T. about scheduling, etc.
Got a badge!

Ta Da!
All done by 2 pm.
Boy an early day sure goes fast!
