Day one of our holiday was great!
We started out by getting a workout in at Crossfit Roots. The workout went really well for Richard- not so great for me. It was 4 rounds of a 50 calorie row, 40 sit ups and 30 pull ups. Because I hadn’t been taking care of my hands- I ripped on the first pull up I did (at least it was jus a small rip) then I had an awful time breathing on the row, so I ended up doing 3 rounds. The altitude makes such a difference. Richard made it through all 4 rounds I was really proud of him!
After the workout we needed some food so we headed down to Pearl Street. We found a little cafe and had some breakfast and tea. It was just a beautiful morning.
We managed a bit of shopping in some of the stores on Pearl street and then of course settled into lunch! So, for our challenge we are eating paleo- and not thinking we walked into a pizzeria. However we managed to have a great meal that was 100% paleo! Now we did have a beer with lunch…
After lunch we couldn’t help but go to a brewery called Avery- as Richard was missing his kitten! It was tucked away down in an industrial park and they had a really nice tasting room. We missed the only tour of the day as it didn’t start until 4. We settled on some sweat potato tots and a few 1 oz samples. They were all really nice, but I think Karma was both our favorites.
We then headed over to pick up Jenny from work and watched her office finals of “corn hole”, which Richard got a lesson on how to play. Jenny’s team took first place!
For dinner we headed out to meet up with Peggy and David at Frasca in Boulder. It was amazing! We had a 4 course tasting menu and everything they brought out was wonderful. They did a wine pairing for us (only 1/2 glass) which was perfect. The company was also wonderful- I think we spent over 3 hours talking and eating! Peggy and I of course talked about our Morocco trip this fall…
We got home around midnight… of course I was wide awake at 6 am- I may need a nap later today!
