Here are a few pictures from recent networking activities. The Greeley Mob Mixer is going very well 18 months in. We continue to have 25-30 every month. There are now 3 chapters of TableTop and I’m playing a roll in all of them: Longmont, NoCo, and now Fort Collins. Also stopped by a ribbon cutting for the first time in like 4 months with the Chamber (why can’t they get their pictures posted in a timely manner?).
The ladies celebrated Ruthie with a day-trip to Estes Park and a sleepover. Love the sashes they wore all day. Wedding day is less then 3 weeks away!
Bachelor party that is! Last week Nathanael was joined by his two brothers and 3 other groomsmen for a weekend adventure in Texas for Nathanael’s bachelor party. They all flew to Houston, rented a car, and were in Galveston by dinner. They spent Saturday in the Gulf deep sea fishing. There were plenty of sharks for everyone! Then they had their fresh seafood for dinner. Sunday was a beach day, before a half day in Houston shopping and picking up some new vinyl. Wedding is less then a month away.
I was so glad to have Sarabeth on the trip for many reasons…one of them being someone else to take pictures! So here’s a photo dump of some of the pictures she captured throughout our big adventure to California. I’m so great full for this trip and the opportunity to spend time with Jen and Sarabeth. Who knows if we will ever get another chance like this to be together, just the three of us. So my friends and loyal readers, seize the moment. Take a chance. Choose adventure and creating memories and stories.
The rest of the day was spent walking along the beach, riding a roller coaster with Sarabeth, fueling the Jeep (how about those gas princes!!), and stopping by one more brewery for a beer and a snack before heading to the airport.
Jen wanted to check out the Gas Lamp district in downtown, so we headed down there after breakfast. Let’s just say it wasn’t the best. At least at 1030 in the morning the day after the 4th of July. We walked around for about 10 minutes before we decided to try something else: Balboa Park!
What a fun place! There was a midway, wooden roller coaster, restaurants and breweries. Since we beat everyone down to the beach and the beachside brewery, we scored a fantastic table with a view and shade!. The girls walked down to the beach and played a few games on the midway while I enjoyed a few beers and watched the ocean.
Day 2 in San Diego here we come! One of my only requests was that we made it back to the Broken Yolk Cafe. We had last visited this iconic breakfast spot 10 years ago with the entire family, several days after my cancer diagnosis. We sat on the same patio we did back then and bought a few new shirts. Then it was off to find some adventures!
Finally, after 20,000 steps for the day (almost 9 miles), we made it back to the Jeep. Tired, sunburned, and hungry, where else would some land-locked Coloradans go for dinner? No, no seafood. Had that for lunch. And yes, there are now two locations in Colorado, which doesn’t make it quite as special. And there was still a 30 minute wait in the drive-through. But it was worth it. What a day. What an adventure.
