If you have not been, run, don't walk, (ok, you should fly) to Colorado. It is absolutely growing, "everyone" is moving there, and tbh, I can absolutely see why.
We flew into Denver, and walked around downtown, had a few beers at some of the many, many breweries, and simply breathed the Denver air- the sometimes stinky, city-air, but the Denver air nonetheless.


Denver is totally adorable, and there is a free trolly that goes up and down the main drag, where you can hop on and hop off wherever you'd like! We did this to avoid long walks in the cold, and it was so convenient!

Great Divide was maybe the most popular (by locals and tourist) and tasty brewery. They had a great variety of beer, and the friends of ours we met, who live there, frequent this place (that says something!).

Probably my favorite, was Jagged Mountain Brewery. Reason being- they have a beer called Waffle Stomp- which is made with 100lb of waffles, maple syrup crystals inside of said waffles, and is 10% ABV.... uhm....can you say perfection? It truly tasted like breakfast.



Once we were done with our 'Tour de Denver', we rented a truck (like the true blue Americans we are) and headed up to the Rocky Mountains! We chose Estes Park to stay, and I am so happy that we did. We stayed in a cute Air B&B by Wyndham, which was tucked into the mountains, but close to two breweries and yummy eateries in a very cute little town!



The next morning, we woke up- I made breakfast-



Next, we visited Golden, CO, where Coors is made!

We enjoyed a tour, met a sweet couple from Indiana, and tasted some free samples downstairs. Golden is definitely a cute town- and a must-see.
Last stop of the trip, was Boulder. Boulder is darling, and I wish we had been able to stay longer.


Colorado is one of my favorite places, for sure. and I cannot wait to go back!!!
