trip report: denver

Zach and I went to Denver together for the first time this past Labor Day weekend. The trip was extra special because it was the first time I planned an entire trip without telling Zach. I surprised him with the trip and he didn't know the destination until we got to the gate at the airport. Here were some of the trip highlights:


Our first night there we went to a great wine bar where I had a Cab flight and Zach had a sparkling wine flight. Yum!


We went to the taste of Colorado twice while we were visiting and I think Zach's favorite part of the whole trip was getting free packets of Snyder's pretzels.


We hiked a little around the Garden of the Gods.


Zach's standing on one of the capitol steps, exactly 1 mile above sea level.



We drove up Pike's Peak in our rental. Zach was driving in manual like a crazy person, but he had a lot of fun. Here's a picture at one of the stops.


We made it to the top of Pike's Peak! Zach was worried we would get altitude sickness but we were just fine. We celebrated our accomplishment with fudge and donuts.
