Another Denver Adventure.

Friday morning, 9am, we leave the Boat. Tyler, Corey, Kayleigh and I were off to Denver for a day long adventure to be finished up with the Avalanche vs. Hurricanes game.

The first stop of the day was in Kremmling where we were unfortunately let down by the thrift store we were planning on going to but we shook it off and continued on to the outlet stores in Silverthorne. When we got there, we started it off with a different thrift store which turned out to be pretty expensive for a thrift store, followed by a ski and snowboard shop where Corey took it upon himself to strap on a 114 snowboard a hop around the store. It was hilarious.

After those stops, we headed to the Pacsun and Lids outlet where a bought a SICK New Era hat with Wolverine fighting the Hulk for only $10. We had an extra ticket, so all the while we were making some friends and trying to get people to come with. Unfortunately everyone was working and unable to go, so we set off for Denver.

The next time we stopped was at a skate park in the outskirts of Denver so a little sesh and to stretch our legs from the rest of the drive. I apologize for the lack of pictures but I completely forgot to take some of the skate park. After that we continued on towards the innards of Denver to Cherry Creek Mall where we hung out and visited a number of the stores you just can’t find in Steamboat. There is also where we met up with Kaelyn, an old friend from school last year.

Strolling around the mall, we headed into Macy’s to check some stuff out and kill some time. There was really nothing any of us wanted to spend money on there, especially since we had already picked some stuff up from the outlet stores for way cheaper, when I came across this particular gem in the following picture:

Unfortunately we quickly figured out that the jacket was $160, so I decided against it.

While at the mall, we found out from someone who worked at one of the stores we went into that there was a two story Goodwill not too far from us and also on the way to the stadium, so needless to say, we had to check it out. It was by far the biggest and nicest Goodwill I had ever seen. We all found something awesome. In particular, I found 3 new shirts and an awesome painting for the room, and Corey got skis and boots, all for some sweet low prices.

After that we decided to eat before the game, so Corey dropped Tyler, Kayleigh, and I off at Cheesecake Factory where we got, you guessed it, some Cheesecake, then met Kaelyn and him up at corner cafe where they had some delicious soup, and then it was off to watch the Avs beat the Hurricanes (sorry if you're a fan).

We had some really good seats considering the tickets were only $15 as you can see from this picture courtesy of Kaelyn:

Our friend Charlie and another friend of his met us at the game as well, and we all had a great time. From getting dip and dots to trying to sweet talk to merchandise girl to give me some free stuff, this was probably the funnest hockey game I've ever been. Just the energy leaving the arena after the Avs won 5-4 was awesome, so we were all super stoked. We finished off the night with some DELICIOUS Jack in the Box before we dropped off Kaelyn and proceeded to make the trip back to Steamboat since Corey and Kayleigh had to work in the morning.

Needless to say we were all exhausted, so mad props to Corey for driving us back at midnight while we all fell asleep. This was another awesome adventure and I can only hope we have another one soon. Peace.
