Exploring Downtown Denver

Yesterday we arrived at our new campground and got set up. We ran into town and stopped at Ben’s favorite store (Costco) for some groceries. We also stopped at Kings Soopers for the rest of our groceries. Nick had been wanting to see the new Scooby Doo movie, so we rented it from Redbox at the store. We all really enjoyed the movie and it was nice to have a relaxing evening. I’ve loved Scooby for years (and years…let’s not count the number of years) and now the boys do too.

Ben took the day off of work so he could explore Denver with us. Our first venture out (besides grocery stores) was to downtown Denver. We decided to walk the 16th Street Mall. It is a street that has a lot of shops and food options. We browsed, window shopped, saw Union Station, and picked up some postcards.

There were a lot of food options on this street. We ended up trying a few different items. We tried a new flavor of cupcake (Raspberry Almond Poppy Seed), a spicy breakfast burrito, and Will tried a Korean BBQ cup.

All in all, it was a great way to spend the afternoon.

July 24: Shopping and Chilling

Today we went into Bozeman, Montana. It was a shopping day!

We stopped at Costco so Ben could get his Costco fix on. It was a decent sized Costco and wandered around. We love finding what each Costco carries. Each state seems to carry different things: New Orleans had liquor and Ben found his favorite souvenir (a collapsible cooler box). Montana had a large wine selection and carried cider as well.

We drove around and stopped at Home Depot for a few supplies we had been needing. Ben found a new Montana whiskey, and it came with a free hand sanitizer! Winner! We also then Target so I could wander around and get my Target fix in. It was a very large Target! It also had a Starbucks, which I hadn’t had in a long time, so that was a nice treat.

We finished shopping at Walmart. We finished grocery shopping and headed on back to the campground. It was a pretty uneventful, but fun shopping, kind of day. We ended the day with doing the daily journals outside at the picnic table watching the river.
