Adventures of a well-rounded geek
It's time I spotlight something a bit farther outside Denver than I've yet to do. There are places outside of the Denver area and its surrounding cities that deserve highlights too.

I had a lovely visit with my parents this weekend. We visited two plant shops! Two! First, we stopped at Phelan Gardens and let me tell you, it is a fantastic place, I fell in love with it instantly. They have a great set up, some really cute decor pieces (including a citrus poster I'm…
Last night we played our Pathfinder game again because of the adventure pack Gene got from my parents for Christmas. Since we hadn't played in at least four months (we were focusing our time on Pandemic Legacy) we were a tiny bit rusty but we did okay. We kinda sorta won the game but since…

Saturday morning she found herself having contractions fast enough and long enough to warrant her going to the hospital. So while she was giving birth, Gene, my parents, and…

Because Gene and I are flying out to Virginia tomorrow morning to spend time with his family, we celebrated Christmas with my parents a couple days early. Gene left work early yesterday so we drove down to Colorado Springs and made it in time for dinner. We had delicious appetizers, soup, and fruit for dinner and then…
For the past four days, Lydia visited us. She landed in Denver Friday afternoon and left yesterday morning. Our days were packed with fun and adventure, which meant I had no time to write blog posts. Friday evening we drove down to Colorado Springs and spent time with my parents through Sunday afternoon. On Saturday we went…
Gene and I spent the weekend at my parents' house in Colorado Springs. It was nice because Kaitlin was there for a portion of the weekend too. While we were there, Gene, my dad, and I created a little box fort for Pippin. My dad had saved some boxes recently so we cut and taped…
